Bamia: Meat & Okra Stew

Bamia: Meat & Okra Stew

Our Bamia is a thicker soup as opposed to chili. We ladle it over an olive oil/ vermicelli mix similar to Rice-A-Roni. Instead of the Baharat, you can substitute the following: 1/2 t Cumin, 1 t Coriander and 1/8 t Allspice.

  • Yield: 8 servings
  • Prep time:15 Minutes
  • Cook time:1 Hour, 30 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon(s) Olive oil
  • 2 pound(s) Stew meat or Lamb 1/2 in cubed
  • 1 med Onion fine chop
  • 4 clove(s) Garlic minced
  • 2 bar(s) Baharat
  • 1 teaspoon(s) Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) Pepper
  • 6 ounce(s) can Tomato Paste
  • 10 cup(s) Water
  • 28 ounce(s) canned Petite Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 pound(s) Okra

Preparation

In large saucepan brown the meat in the olive oil. (If meat becomes too wet, wipe pan out with paper towel. Use additional T oil and bring back up to heat.)

Add onion & garlic to meat. Saute till soft. 5 min.

Add spices. Saute til aromatic, 30 seconds.

Add tomato paste (with a little of the water) until well blended. Add in the rest of the water, diced tomatoes and okra. Bring to boil.

Reduce heat to low. Partially cover. Cook 1 hour. Uncover and cook 1/2 hour more or until meat is tender and done.

The sauce should thicken as it cooks. If not, add a bit of corn starch/water slurry.

Serve over rice.

Enjoy!
