Steps:
- Over medium low heat, gently saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are transparent and just starting to color. Add tomatoes and crushed coriander seeds, and cook 5 minutes, until tomatoes have given off their liquid. Add salt if desired.
- Trim the stems from the okra, and add to tomato-onion mixture. Mix well and add water. Start with 1/2 cup; more can be added as necessary.
- Turn heat down to low. Cover okra, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the okra is tender. Stir occasionally, and add more water if the vegetables start to stick.
- Just before serving, add the lemon juice, mixing well.

Steps:
- Marinate the chicken and peppers in the soy sauce, minced ginger, and balsamic vinegar.
- Cut the heads and tails off the okra and cut into 1/4 inch rounds.
- Dump them in a bowl and don't season them!
- Stir-fry the chicken until about 2/3 done, pull chicken out and set aside.
- Add oil, then the okra.
- Stir like crazy.
- Your goal is little green things that look like they are trying to be a nice golden brown.
- If you cook the okra just right, it is great. Under or over-cook it, it is great.
- Throw the chicken back in and stir.
- Add the peppers.
- Toss in about a teaspoon of curry powder for fun.
- Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes.

SPICY MIDDLE EASTERN STIR FRY.........(KILAYAH)
This is a recipe for a basic middle eastern stir fry, which uses alot of tomatoes as its base. This usually is served with a side of rice or middle eastern bread for dipping. I usually make this dish as a dinner, but sometimes even as a one of my breakfast dishes. This dish is common throught the middle east, but referred to differently such as Alayeh, Ghalabah e.t.c. and recipe varies. You can add diced tender beef or lamb, carots, green peppers e.t.c. This is how we like it in our house.

Steps:
- Place oil in a nonstick frying pan under high heat. Once the oil is very hot add the onions in.Stir the onions and let cook for about 2 minutes.
- Then add the rest of the ingredients. Stir. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes. Stir again, make sure you stir frequently to avoid sticking. Stir fry with be thick. If you feel it is too thick, add just a tiny bit of water. I usually dont have to, and by adding the water, it dilutes the flavor a bit.Place on medium heat.Let cook until the tomatoes have cooked down. Remove from heat. Enjoy!
