This may be the predecessor of Louisiana's gumbos. The okra acts as a thickening agent.

1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (10 ounce) package frozen okra pods

3 cups sliced cabbage
1 1/2 pounds catfish, perch, bass
    fillets, cut into serving pieces

Heat tomato sauce, water, rice, carrots, onion, salt and red pepper in Dutch oven to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook 10 minutes.
