1 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |

1 lb spicy sausage, cut into chunks and fried |
8 ounces fresh okra, trimmed and sliced into 1 inch pieces or 1 (10 ounce) package frozen sliced okra |
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes |

1. Combine garlic, pepper, celery, scallions, chili powder, thyme, and oil into a 2-1/2 quart microwave-safe casserole dish.

4. Prick plastic to release steam.
5. Remove from oven and uncover.
6. Mound vegetable in the center of the dish.
