Okra with Tomatoes

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup peanut or canola oil
  • 1 lb fresh okra, tops removed and tails removed, cut crosswise into ¼ in thick rounds
  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and mashed to a pulp
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • ½ tsp. coriander
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • 1/8 tsp. turmeric
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp. cayenne
  • ¾ tsp. salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pour the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. When hot, put in cut okra. Stir and fry for 7-10 minutes.
  3. When the okra starts to brown, turn the heat down to medium and cook, stirring, another 3-4 minutes. The okra will have browned a bit more. Turn the heat down to low and cook 2-3 minutes or until okra is almost tender. Now put in all remaining ingredients.
  4. Stir gently on low heat for 4-5 minutes or until all flavors have melded and the tomatoes have dried a little.
  5. Salt and pepper to taste.
