Cumin Spiced Okra And Tomatoes Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Melt butter over high heat in a medium saute pan. Saute okra with all seasoning 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Line a plate with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the okra and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared plate. Set aside.
• Add the onion to the residual oil in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the cumin, coriander, cayenne, and turmeric and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes with juices, and stir to combine.
• Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved okra and stir to combine. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the okra is tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and coriander; set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Raise heat to medium-high; add the spice mixture, okra, and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring, until the okra is bright green and just tender, about 6 minutes, adding more water if the skillet becomes too dry.
• Add the tomato wedges, and cook until just heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
