👨‍🍳 作り方

1
In a thick-bottomed pot, heat 2.5 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent. Add the grated garlic and sauté until lightly browned.
2
Add the lamb cubes and brown them on all sides. Stir in the ground coriander, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and black pepper. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3
Add the chopped tomatoes, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and 2 cups of water. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the lamb is half-done.
4
While the lamb is simmering, prepare the okra. Toss the trimmed okra with the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes until lightly browned and tender-crisp.
5
Once the lamb is tender, add the roasted okra and lemon juice to the pot. Stir gently, cover, and simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, traditionally with steamed rice.

💡 プロのコツ

✓To reduce sliminess in okra, you can lightly flour it before roasting, or ensure it is thoroughly dried.
✓If fresh okra is unavailable, frozen okra can be used. Add it directly to the stew during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
✓For a richer flavor, use lamb shoulder with some bone.
