Ingredients

• 400g bag of frozen okra (you can use fresh too)
• 1 Tin of tomatoes, blended until smooth
• 2 Large onions
• 2 Cloves of garlic
• 2 tsp dried coriander
• Vegetable oil or vegetable margarine
• Juice from half a lemon
• 1 tbsp of tomato purée
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Chop the onions and garlic and soften on a medium heat in a little vegetable oil using a pressure cooker. The rest of the dish will be finished in the pressure cooker (you can use a normal cooking pot if you don’t have a pressure cooker, you will just need to cook for longer).

2. Add the dried coriander and season with salt and pepper.

3. Pour the blended tomatoes on the softened onions, add the tomato puree, lemon juice and re-check the seasoning, then bring to the boil.

4. Add the okra and bring to the boil and top up with water so that the okra is completely covered. Shut the pressure cooker lid and allow to cook on a medium heat for 20-25 minutes (If you’re not using a pressure cooking just cover with a lid and allow to cook on a medium heat).

5. The okra is ready when it soft but still retains its shape, adjust seasoning and lemon juice to taste before serving.
