Instructions
Cut the stems of the Okra and slice them to 1 ½ cm pieces. Place the Okra in a large size tray, drizzle the vinegar and toss. Place out in the sun and allow to dry for about 30’.
Take a large casserole or high walled frying pan and place on medium heat. Pour the olive oil and allow to heat-up for about 2’. Throw in the okra along with the scallions, toss well and cook for about 12’ while stirring frequently. Once the okra is tender but still firm, toss in the garlic along with the cumin, Ras El Hanout spice mixture, Aleppo pepper and coriander, stir and allow to cook for 2’.
Drop in the tomatoes and the passata and cook for further 4’. Pour the lemon juice, season with the salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Can be served both warm over Bulgur or even served cold.
