This is a greek recipe. I once made it for someone greek who in turn asked me for the recipe and last time I spoke to her she still mentioned how much she loved this okra. I have also used this recipe to introduce okra to people who have never tried it. I always get rave reviews!
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh okra or 2 x 10 oz pkgs, frozen
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chopped tomates, blanched and peeled (or one large can of good quality diced tomatoes with juice - adjust water accordingly)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 2/4 water or wine
- salt & pepper
- parsley sprigs for garnish
Directions
