Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into slices
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 lb. okra or 2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen okra, defrosted
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Method

  • Wash the fresh okra under cold running water and with a small sharp knife, scrape skin to remove fuzz on surface (frozen needs only to be defrosted and drained).
  • Pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a heavy 10 to 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and salt and stir for 7 or 8 minutes, or until brown. Add okra, cumin and pepper and continue to fry, stirring constantly, for 25 minutes or until okra is tender and liquid is gone.
  • (Frozen okra will be sticky.
  • Cook longer to dry up liquid.) Serves 4.
