A summer-table favorite in Jordanian cuisine, this olive oil okra dish simmers gently in tomato sauce spiced with hot red pepper. It is a light, spicy dish served cold.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Okra

15 min

Soak the okra in vinegar water for 15 minutes, then rinse and dry it.

2

Make the Sauce

10 min

Sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the tomato and red pepper and simmer for 10 minutes.

3

Cook the okra

25 min

Add the dried okra to the sauce, then add the salt and lemon juice. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 25 minutes.

Reminder

When washing the okra, do not trim the stems too short, or the pods may open during cooking and become slimy. Allergen-free.
