Spiced okra

• servings: 4
• active time: 15 mins
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

5 tbsp olive oil

400g onions, sliced

500g okra, trimmed, washed, dried and

sliced into 2cm pieces

2 tomatoes, diced

I red chilli, finely chopped

2 tsp ground coriander

handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped, to serve

Directions

1 Heat a large wok or frying pan over a medium heat. Add the oil, then the

onions, cooking until soft. Stir in the okra. Add the tomatoes and chilli, then season. Mix well and keep stirring gently, taking care not to break up the okra. Okra releases a sticky substance when

cooked, but keep cooking, stirring gently — this will disappear and the tomatoes will become pulpy, about 10 mins.

2 Lower heat, add ground coriander and cook for another 5-10 mins. Add 2 tbsp water, cover and let simmer for another 4-5 mins.
