This Okra & Tomato Stew recipe is simple and delicious. It owes as much to Indian cooking, and it’s really good. The trick is to cook the cut okra over high heat for a couple... of minutes to seal them before adding the tomatoes and liquid.
In a sauté pan with a tight fitting lid, heat olive oil or medium-high heat. Add onion and ginger and cook until softened.
Add the okra and salt and cook, stirring for 2 - 3 minutes. Add turmeric and cook for 1 minute more stirring constantly.
Add the tomato sauce and cook for 1 minute, then add ½ cup of water, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for 3 minutes or until there is little liquid in left the pan, and the tomato sauce has thickened and coats the okra.
Chef Tips
This is a really simple dish, so the ingredients have to be good. Be sure to buy small, fresh, green okra pods that are as crisp and unblemished as possible.
