Best Braised Okra With Roasted Garlic And Tomato Recipes
MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE OKRA RECIPE
Okra and tomatoes prepared Mediterranean-style with onions, garlic, hot peppers, warm spices and a splash of lime juice. This quick-cooked vegan okra stew is the perfect combination of savory, tangy, and just a little bit spicy. You can use 1 or 2 jalapenos, depending on how spicy you like your food. And if you need it a little more tangy, add more lime juice!

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (or pan with a lid) over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Lower the heat to medium and add the onions, garlic and chopped jalapeno peppers. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring regularly (do not let the garlic burn, if needed adjust heat).
- Add the okra and sautee for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Season with kosher salt, black pepper and spices. Toss to coat.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and water. Stir to combine. Add the tomato slices on top. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cover most of the way (leave a little opening at the top). Let the okra simmer on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes or until the okra has softened. Uncover and add juice of ½ lime (more to your liking).
- Remove from heat and serve over rice or with warm pita bread.

ROASTED OKRA AND CHERRY TOMATOES
I guarantee you this okra is not slimy! I remembered a tip that I heard on a cooking show about vinegar when I received some fresh okra and needed to come up with a new and different way to cook it that was healthy and still delicious. This recipe fits the bill and it is so super easy you can throw it together in a flash!
