Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/4 cup olive oil
6 small plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
1 scant tablespoon coriander seeds, lightly crushed in a mortar
1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired
1 1/2 pounds fresh okra
1/2 to 1 cup water
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Over medium low heat, gently saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are transparent and just starting to color. Add tomatoes and crushed coriander seeds, and cook 5 minutes, until tomatoes have given off their liquid. Add salt if desired.
  • Trim the stems from the okra, and add to tomato-onion mixture. Mix well and add water. Start with 1/2 cup; more can be added as necessary.
  • Turn heat down to low. Cover okra, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the okra is tender. Stir occasionally, and add more water if the vegetables start to stick.
  • Just before serving, add the lemon juice, mixing well.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good meal. I would definitely make it again, but I would add more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

The okra was a bit slimy for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try this recipe again with a different type of okra.
