  • About

This way of serving okra is different from the typical, more moist preparations that you may be accustomed to. This dish can be used as a filling for Dal Puri Roti or Buss-Up-Shut Roti, or as an accompaniment to rice.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 1 Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper, minced

Method

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the Scotch bonnet, garlic, and okra and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the okra browns. Stir in the cumin and season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat down to medium-low and sauté for 3 minutes, until the okra is cooked through. Serve warm.
