Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 16pieces of fresh okra or canned ( but not pickled )
  2. 1 tspbutter or use oil spray for pan
  3. 1onion, sliced
  4. 1 mediumcarrot, peeled
  5. 1 smallcourgette (zucchini ) chopped
  6. 100 mlpassata ( Italian pressed tomato juice )
  7. 100 gramscanned and washed, or ready to eat puy lentils
  8. 1Italian , red , sweet pepper
  9. 1 tsptikka ( Indian spice mix)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    First wash and thoroughly dry the okra, if using fresh okra, this is an important step when preparing okra. Then cut the stem end into a pencil like shape without piercing or breaking the skin. Add some butter into pan and fry the okra for about 5 minutes from all sides .

  2. 2

    Add the sliced onions. With a potato peeler slice the whole of the carrot into the pan , then chop the courgette into the pan add the lentils and the tikka spice. Add half the passata.

  3. 3

    Add the red pepper and the rest of the passata, simmer gently until it thickens to your liking .

  4. 4

    I like okra and vegetables in general to still have a crunch, so I make sure I not overcook them .

  5. 5

    This was really great with rice, but I can think that this would also work very well with a spice mix from Morocco, with cinnamon and such and couscous .
