Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 350 F
2

In a large saucepan, fry the okra with ½ cup vegetable oil until it becomes tender. Remove and keep aside.
3

Fry the onions, in a deep pan, with ½ cup of vegetable oil until they become soft. Then add in the garlic, meat and coriander. Season with salt, pepper and mint. Stir until the meat begins to brown.
4

Add in the tomato paste, cubed tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of meat broth. Mix well and let it simmer over low heat until the liquid is absorbed.
5

Transfer the meat mixture to an oiled circular casserole. Then distribute the okra evenly on top of it.
6

Pour the remaining meat broth and lemon juice over the stew. Cover the casserole with either a lid or foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Check from time to time and add in water if the mixture is dry.
