Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil the meat, slow cook to keep it tender (i used 6 -8 medium sized/length of my pinky pieces of bone-in beef shoulder. Bone-in lamb or ribs are better. I add a little salt while boiling.) Slow boiled for 30min while preparing/chopping the other ingredients. Rinse/keep to side until mixing.
- 2
Peel/chop/prep all other ingredients, keep to the side.
- 3
In large pot, heat olive oil on medium. I used about 2 tablespoons to lightly cover the bottom of entire pot.
- 4
Add okra (if frozen, soak in water for 5-10 min to thaw) to oil. Season with pinches of salt & lime salt to taste. I use 4-5 pinches each. From this point forward, careful with stirring too much. Okra pieces will make stew slimy if disturbed too much.
- 5
Turn up heat to medium high. Add in chopped garlic (I use 4 peeled cloves). I lift the pot to give a gentle shake to mix a little. Dont want to make okra mushy.
- 6
Add tomato paste and tomatoes. Suggested 4 medium sized tomatoes. I use 6oz can of paste or 4-6 large tablespoons of "that good stuff from the Arabic Market."
- 7
Add meat
- 8
Add enough water to top the mixture. Should look like stew. Stir to mix well, but careful not to breakdown okra too much.
- 9
Add squeeze of fresh lemon or lime and salt to taste.
- 10
Turn down heat to medium low. Cook for 15-20 min. Minimal stirring. Add more water if it gets low. Should look like stew.
- 11
I served on a plate, topping a bed of basmati rice/timman. Side of olives, salad, fresh bread (tandoori/naan). There were only two eating at the time. If i had more guests, I would cover bottom of large serving bowl with torn pieces of bread and pour entire stew on top (like bacha).

Note, if you want a little spice/heat, add red pepper to mixture.

Hassan’s Salona Hassan’s Salona
My husband and I come from completely different backgrounds. He’s Palestinian born and raised in the UAE and I’m American. He has always enjoyed my cooking but I knew he was eating at his mom’s a lot too. Although he loves her cooking he’s a finicky eater and doesn’t like a lot of animal flesh in his food on an every day basis. So I started experimenting in the kitchen to adapt Arab recipes to his tastes and preferences. I’m also particular about spices and don’t care for some of the spices used in this part of the world.This is one of his favorites and he asks me to make it often.Adjust the seasonings to you preferences. Sometimes I will add cardamom pods if I have them but I’m not crazy about the flavor.
