Bamia - Meat and Okra Stew
Bamia is such a hearty stew despite the amount of ingredients.
You can make this recipe vegetarian by omitting the beef, however the flavor is different.



INGREDIENTS:
 	


	• 	1 lb stew meat (lamb or beef)
	• 	1 pound fresh or frozen okra
	• 	16 oz canned crushed tomatoes
	• 	4 oz. canned tomato puree
	• 	1 medium onion, chopped
	• 	2 cloves garlic, crushed
	• 	1/2 teaspoon cumin
	• 	1 teaspoon coriander
	• 	1/8 teaspoon allspice
	• 	8 cups water
	• 	salt and pepper to taste
	• 	2 tablespoons olive oil

PREPARATION:

In a large saucepan, brown meat with olive oil. Add onions and garlic. 

Add crushed tomatoes, stirring well with meat, garlic and onion. Add cumin, 
coriander, salt and pepper, and allspice. Add water and tomato puree. Stir and combine well. 

Add okra and bring to a boil. 

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, or until meat is tender and done. 

The sauce should thicken as it cooks. If it does not, add 1/2 cup all purpose flour. 

Serve bamia with white rice and a salad.
