Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 pounds okra, stems trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
4 large tomatoes, cored, seeded and chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves, preferably fresh
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the okra, red pepper flakes, tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, decrease the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the okra is just tender, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted them with bell peppers. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with some additional spices. I added some cumin and coriander and it really took the dish to the next level.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my okra turned out slimy. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

I found that the okra took a little longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to simmer it for about 15 minutes before it was tender.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
