Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh (or frozen) tender okra
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 medium-sized onions, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Method
- Wash the okra and trim it.
- (To trim the okra, cut off a small section at the tip.
- The stem end looks prettiest if trimmed in a conical shape.)
- Heat the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over a medium flame.
- Put in the garlic and onions.
- Stir and fry until onions turn translucent, turning the heat down if necessary.
- Put in the okra.
- Stir and fry for another minute.
- Now put in all the remaining ingredients plus 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer.
- Cover, turn heat to low, and cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes or until okra is tender.
- (Larger pods will take a bit longer to cook through.)
- Serve either hot or cold.
