Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 pounds okra
Lemon juice to taste
2 teaspoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet and add the onion and garlic. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the onion begins to turn golden brown (about 10 minutes). Add the tomatoes and oregano and cook for a further 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cinnamon.
