👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove lamb from the pot and set aside.
- 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the baharat, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes and pour in the water or lamb broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.

Add the okra to the stew. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30-45 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the sauce has thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro. This stew is traditionally served with rice or Iraqi flatbread.
