Bamia (Okra)

Okra stewed in tomato

Whole okra stewed in a tangy tomato sauce with garlic and coriander. A much-loved Middle Eastern stew that turns okra tender and full of flavor.

Bamia is cooked across the Middle East and every family has its own way of making it. Slow cooking in tomato makes the okra soft and full of flavor, and it is always served with rice.
