Cumin-Spiced Okra and Tomatoes image

Okra and tomatoes are a classic combo. This is a delicious, spicy variation that's really easy to make. I made this often in college and turned my okra-skeptical roommate into a fan. I like this served over brown rice, but it's also great thinned out into a stew.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 jalapeno, chopped finely
1 -2 teaspoon cumin
1 lb frozen sliced okra, thawed
1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Saute onion for a few minutes until it begins to soften.
  • Add garlic, jalapeno, and cumin and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Don't brown the garlic or it will get bitter.
  • Add okra, tomatoes, and tomato juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • You can add water to make a soupier dish, or leave it fairly dry. I add 1/4-1/2 cup.
  • Cover and cook 5-10 minutes. Okra should soften and the juices will become quite thick.

I'm not a big fan of okra, but I thought I would give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The cumin and tomatoes really helped to mask the slimy texture of the okra. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. I also would have liked to see more tomatoes in the dish.

This recipe is a great way to use up summer okra and tomatoes. The cumin gives the dish a nice smoky flavor. I added a bit of cayenne pepper for some extra heat. It was a delicious and easy weeknight meal.

This dish was easy to make and packed with flavor. The cumin really shines through and gives the okra a nice depth of flavor. I would recommend adding a bit of chopped cilantro for an extra pop of freshness.

This okra and tomato dish was a hit with my family! The cumin added a warm and earthy flavor that balanced perfectly with the tangy tomatoes. The okra was cooked to perfection - tender but still slightly crunchy. I will definitely be making this agai
