MEDITERRANEAN OKRA AND TOMATO STEW



Mediterranean Okra and Tomato Stew image

Until lately, I hadn't been a fan of okra. But then I learned how cooks in the eastern and southern Mediterranean treat this popular vegetable: they cook it whole, after tossing it with salt and vinegar and marinating it for an hour to make it less, well, slimy. Some regional cooks dry okra in the sun after salting it.Okra is low in calories, very high in dietary fiber, and a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, B vitamins and the phytonutrients glutathione, xanthin, lutein and beta carotene. For the best texture and flavor, buy the smallest pods you can find. Okra is stewed with tomatoes and onions throughout the Middle East and in Greece, where the vegetable goes by its Arabic name, bamyeh or bamyies. Traditionally, the stews are made with about three times as much olive oil as I use here.

Time 2h15m

Yield Serves four as a main dish with rice, six as a side

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds small okra
Salt
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, cut in half lengthwise then sliced thin across the grain
3 to 4 garlic cloves to taste, minced
1 pound tomatoes, preferably plum tomatoes, seeded and grated, or else peeled, seeded and chopped; or 1 14-ounce can, with juice
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste diluted in 1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon sugar
2 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Trim the stems off the okra, and place in a large bowl. Salt generously, douse with the vinegar and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Drain the okra, and rinse thoroughly.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or casserole. Add the onions. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the okra, and cook, stirring, for about three minutes until the edges begin to color. Add the garlic, stir together for about half a minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit and smell fragrant, about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in the dissolved tomato paste, allspice and sugar. Add water if necessary to just cover the okra. Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer 45 minutes until the okra is very tender. Add the parsley and lemon juice, and simmer another five minutes. Taste and adjust salt. Remove from the heat, and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

STEWED CORN AND TOMATOES WITH OKRA



Stewed Corn and Tomatoes with Okra image

Categories     Onion     Tomato     Side     Sauté     Vegetarian     Corn     Bell Pepper     Summer     Okra     Jalapeño     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 scallions, chopped
1 fresh jalapeño, finely chopped, with seeds
1 large green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound tomatoes, coarsely chopped
3 cups corn (from 5 to 6 ears)
1/2 pound small fresh okra, trimmed, keeping stem end intact

Steps:

  • Cook scallions, jalapeño, bell pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until scallions begin to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until broken down into a sauce, about 15 minutes.
  • Add corn and okra and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest okra and tomatoes: Look for tender, unblemished okra pods and ripe, juicy tomatoes. You want your tomokra to taste its best, so start with the best ingredients.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the tomokra, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will result in a watery dish.
  • Cook the tomokra until the okra is tender: The okra should be tender, but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooking the okra will make it slimy and mushy.
  • Don't forget the spices: The spices in this recipe are essential for giving the tomokra its flavor. Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of spices to your taste.
  • Serve the tomokra over rice or couscous: This is a delicious and easy way to enjoy tomokra. The rice or couscous will help to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Conclusion:

Tomokra is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. It's a great way to use up fresh okra and tomatoes, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give tomokra a try. You won't be disappointed!
