Spicy Stuffed Okra

 

3/4 lb. fresh okra, whole

1 tbsp. coriander, ground

1 tbsp. cumin, ground

2 tsps. lemon juice

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

black pepper

1 small onion, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into fine, half rings

6 tbsps. vegetable oil

 

Rinse okra and pat dry. Trim. In a small bowl, mix together the coriander,

cumin, lemon juice, cayenne, salt and black pepper.

One at a time, holding the okra in one hand, make a long slit in it using a

sharp knife, don't go right through the pod, leave 1/4 " at either end. Press the

stuffing into the slit. Stuff all the okra pods this way.

Over a medium-high heat, heat the oil in a frying pan large enough to hold the

okra in a single layer. Put in the onion, stir fry until it just begins to

brown. Put in the okra in a single layer, reduce heat to medium-low. Okra should

cook slowly, uncovered. Gently turn the pods until all sides are golden, very

lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cover pan, reduce heat to low and simmer for

5 minutes.

Makes 6 servings.
