ingredients
- 250 g okra
- 400 g diced lamb
- 1 diced onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 500 ml lamb stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
directions
- Boil the lamb on a high heat in water (with a touch of salt) for 2 hours. Drain the water into a jug through a sieve to separate the meat and stock ready for the recipe.
- Cut just the tip of the stalks off the top of the Okra, ensuring that no holes appear. Wash them in cold water (removing any dirt), pat dry straight away and then lay them spaced out on a baking tray.
- Place in a pre-heated oven at 150 degrees for 10 minutes.
- While the Okra is baking, fry the onions in some olive oil for a few minutes then add the lamb and brown.
- Add the garlic, tomato puree, salt, pepper and then half of the stock. Mix well and simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Lastly, remove the Okra from the oven and add them straight into the pan, including the rest of the stock. Place the lid on and simmer for 20 minutes.
- For the best results, do not lift the lid until the time is up then remove it from the heat, leaving it to stand for a couple of minutes before serving.
