Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs fresh okra
2 -3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 lbs stewing lamb or 2 lbs beef, cut into small pieces
1 lb potato (optional)
2 large onions, sliced
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 -4 tablespoons tomato paste
cooking oil
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and thinly slice onions, then fry in oil until slightly golden.
  • Wash and cut meat into small pieces and fry in onions and garlic until meat becomes opaque.
  • Add 3 cups of hot water and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, adding more hot water during cooking if needed.
  • When meat is tender, wash okra and remove stems.
  • Add whole okra, salt, pepper and tomato paste to the meat and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Take care not to overcook the okras so that they do not become slick textured.
  • Add lime juice, adjust seasoning and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • If you wish to use potatoes, wash, peel, and cut them into small pieces, and add to stew when meat becomes tender, allowing 10-15 minutes of cooking before adding okra.

This stew was a bit too sour for my taste, but it was still very good. The lamb was tender and the okra was cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very flavorful. I would recommend using less lemon juice if you don't like sour food.

This stew is one of my favorite Persian dishes. The lamb is always so tender and the okra is cooked perfectly. The sauce is also very flavorful. I usually serve it with rice, but it's also good with bread.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I usually make it with lamb shoulder, but you could also use lamb leg or lamb chops. The okra is a great addition to the stew, and it adds a nice texture.
