Greek-Style Okra With Tomato, Feta, and Marjoram From 'The New Southern Table'

Place the okra in a large glass or plastic bowl, toss with the vinegar to coat, and season with the 1 tablespoon (18 g) of the salt. Toss to combine, and set aside for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour, stirring once or twice; rinse the okra well in a colander, and pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, to toast it on the bottom of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the okra, tomatoes, the 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt, and 1 cup (235 ml) water, bring to a boil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the okra is tender. Add a little water if the pan gets dry as the okra cooks. Add the marjoram and feta, stir to combine, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
