Okra Cooked in Tomato
Bamia Bzeit

Easy

Like Loubieh Bzeit, this is a delicious side dish with grilled meat, chicken or fish, or a great vegetarian main course. I use small, frozen okra from Egypt or Turkey as the larger fresh ones can have an unpleasant texture. Bamia can be eaten hot or as a mezza at room temperature.
Ingredients
500 grams 3 4–5
Method
Heat oil in a pot over medium fire. Add the onions and saute until wilted.
Add the okra and saute for five minutes; then add the tomatoes, garlic, salt, and water.
Cover and simmer 25 minutes or until the okra is tender.
