What a wonderful surprise! I used ground round and cooked it with the onions before mixing with the okra, tomatoes, and spices. I also added some salt. I've never used cinnamon and allspice with okra before, but it worked wonderfully. The crispy sliced garlic was the perfect garnishment. Thanks for sharing!

If you think you have to be brave to try this recipe because of the allspice & cinnamon, actually it tastes pretty good with a subtle spice effect. I left out the garlic because we were all anxious to eat, in which case perhaps it could had earned five stars, but I confess that I wanted something with both okra and cheese.
