CUMIN-SPICED OKRA AND TOMATOES



Cumin-Spiced Okra and Tomatoes image

Okra and tomatoes are a classic combo. This is a delicious, spicy variation that's really easy to make. I made this often in college and turned my okra-skeptical roommate into a fan. I like this served over brown rice, but it's also great thinned out into a stew.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 jalapeno, chopped finely
1 -2 teaspoon cumin
1 lb frozen sliced okra, thawed
1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Saute onion for a few minutes until it begins to soften.
  • Add garlic, jalapeno, and cumin and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Don't brown the garlic or it will get bitter.
  • Add okra, tomatoes, and tomato juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • You can add water to make a soupier dish, or leave it fairly dry. I add 1/4-1/2 cup.
  • Cover and cook 5-10 minutes. Okra should soften and the juices will become quite thick.
