Method

Wash fresh Okra, keep in open air or sun to dry, and then cut to remove the head. If using frozen, no need for this step.
Mix all ingredients together in an oven dish. Cover with foil paper and place in 400F (200C) preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes.
Serve hot or warm with some Arabic bread or rice, or maybe with BBQ.

This was DELICIOUS!! My husband and I ate the whole lot with mountains of bread last night for our dinner. Thankyou Huda for this recipe xxx I'm definitely going to keep frozen okra on standby ready to make this at any given opportunity. I think it'll make a nice lunch for a group of friends to share too. :)
