Okra With Tomatoes (Jaffrey)

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	Fresh - (or frozen) okra
6 tablespoons	90ml	Olive oil
4		Garlic cloves - - peeled and minced
2		Onions - peeled (medium)
		Cut into 3/4-inch dice
2		Tomatoes - - peeled & coarsely (medium)
1 teaspoon	5ml	Ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Salt - (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Wash okra and trim it. (To trim the okra, cut off a small section at the tip. The stem end looks prettiest if trimmed in a conical shape.)

Heat the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over a medium flame. Put in the garlic and onions. Stir and fry until onions turn translucent, turning the heat down if necessary. Put in the okra. Stir and fry for another minute. Now put in all the remaining ingredients plus 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes or until okra is tender. (Large pods will take a bit longer to cook though).

Serve either hot or cold.
