👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Heat oil or ghee in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.
- 2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly.
- 4
Return the meat to the pot. Add crushed tomatoes, ground coriander, cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- 5
Pour in water or broth, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.
- 6
Add the prepared okra to the stew. Stir gently. Cover and continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the okra is tender but not mushy.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, optionally with a drizzle of lemon juice.
💡 Професійні поради
- ✓To prevent okra from becoming too slimy, you can lightly sauté it before adding it to the stew, or add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the stew towards the end of cooking.
- ✓Ensure the meat is tender before adding the okra, as okra cooks relatively quickly.
- ✓This stew tastes even better the next day, allowing the flavors to meld.
