Farm Family Recipes

First, start off by deep frying your okra until it’s crispy and lay them in a plate on top of a napkin to absorb any remaining oil. Then, wash your basmati rice and place it in a pot with boiling water and let that cook. For the main dish, you need to add 2 tbsp of olive oil in a sauté pan and add in the white onion and garlic that you minced and sauté it until it’s caramelized. Once, its sautéed then you will add the okra that you deep fried and let that cook until it is soft. Then, add hot water, tomato paste, salt, pepper, red chili flakes and the lemon juice and put it in the pan with the okra and let that cook thoroughly. Cut the meat into cubes or you can use ground beef, once the meat is prepared season it to your preference and form the meat into meatballs and cook the meat separately. Then, add the cooked meat to the okra that is being cooked. Let it keep cooking for another 10 minutes, once the 10 minutes is up your meal is ready to be served! If you are looking to add a garnish to the meal try chopped cilantro and slices of white onions on the side.
