Green Okra in oil

Tender okra pods sautéed with tomatoes, onions, and garlic in extra virgin olive oil. A flavorful vegan dish often finished with a touch of dried mint or cilantro, served with pita bread.

🥄 Ingredients

• 1 kg fresh or frozen okra
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 0.5 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 medium tomatoes
• 1 cup good quality olive oil

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Clean the okra if it's fresh and cut it into your desired size. If it's frozen, soak it in boiling water immediately. Don't remove it from the freezer beforehand; put it directly into the boiling water.
2. Heat olive oil in a suitable pot. Add the garlic and sauté until golden brown. Then add the dried coriander and sauté with the garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the okra and sauté for 5 minutes. At this point, add the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes (not too large or too small), salt, and a cup of boiling water. Stir well, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, or until the okra is tender.

🌹 Decoration
