👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
If using fresh okra, wash and trim the ends. If using frozen, no need to thaw.
- 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the lamb or veal to the pot and brown on all sides. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- 4
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water or broth, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- 5
Add the okra to the pot. If using pomegranate molasses, stir it in now. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to break the okra pods. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the okra is cooked through but still holds its shape. Stir occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, typically over rice.
💡 Профессиональные советы
- ✓To avoid slimy okra, try not to stir it too much once added to the stew. Some sources suggest frying or roasting the okra briefly before adding it to the stew, but this recipe simplifies by adding it directly.
- ✓For a vegan version, omit the meat and use vegetable broth. You can also add extra vegetables like carrots or bell peppers.
- ✓Pomegranate molasses adds a lovely tang; if you can't find it, a squeeze of lemon juice at the end can provide a similar brightness.
