I like your videos a lot 😍 This is definitely not how to do it. You want a better way to make Bamya here we go. Lebanese best Bamya you ever ate true story 😍 Crush 6 garlic cloves in the mortar, chop one large onion, chop a bunch of fresh coriander, saute the onion in ghee, add the meat, brown the meat with the onion. There shouldn't be much water in the bottom of the pan left, You put the garlic at last so it doesn't get burned with the fresh coriander, lower the heat to medium and let the garlic and add 70% of the coriander infuse the meat with flavor of the garlic and coriander, after doing this for approx 8 minutes add 3 spoons of tomato paste in the pot not pasata, saute the tomato paste along with everything so it gets covered with the tomato paste, add black pepper, add a little Arabic 7 spice, salt or bouillon cubes, preferably meat flavour bouillon cubes. Add a teaspoon of sugar (optional) you mix everything together add 1 can chopped tomatoes and water deglazing the pan from the bottom. Let boil until the meat almost gets tender, you take frozen okra zero and run it under warm water so they don't stick together and no frost , this step is optional you saute the okra in oil for then minutes in a different pan drain of the oil, then add it to the stew gives it a very nice flavor, or just add it directly in to the stew from the bag. When the okra and meat is cooked to your liking, add the rest of the coriander at the end, and serve with the vermicelli rice. Sahten 😊 add some lemon if you want. Hope you try this one out.

As a Lebanese, yes, this is closer to the way I do it We add 7 spices to the meat (or a mix of black pepper cinnamon and all spice). We also saute a garlic and cilantro (fresh coriander) mixture and add it at the end (similar to an Indian tarka) The combination of tomato products one uses varies a lot from recipe to recipe. In Turkish and Armenian versions of these type of stews (yakhni), they add equal amounts of tomato and pepper paste: it's very good.

As with many hated ingredients I think its because some people cant cook it right and the okra can wind up turning the dish into a pot of pure slime. I've had some okra dishes where the okra wasnt even discernible in the dish, the cook just overcooked the okra until it dissolved into a formless pile of goop and it was like eating a giant pile of snot. A little sliminess can be good put most people dont like it when their meal reminds them of a sinus infection.

my family's technique for okra has always been to saute whole, let dry, then chop if necessary before adding to tomato broth. it gives it a crispier texture (which is especially useful for a vegetarian version of bamya where you dont have the texture of lamb) and also reduces some of the slime difficulties people have with okra. it's a good alternative to oven baking.

Greetings from Turkey! Before we prepare the okra dish, the stems of the okra are cut off and placed in a bowl filled with water, lemon is squeezed on it and left to wait. Okra is added to the pot after the onion and tomato sauce, and after adding water, a bunch of unripe grapes are placed on it and the pot is cooked by closing the lid. Sometimes okra is made by adding beef or lamb, which makes it more delicious.

The dumplings themselves are pretty much identical (except for one varient that uses rice), but the broth differs and can be sweet if used with pumpkin, sweet-sour if used with beets, with bamya, or just sour (can't remember what's in the broth of the sour varient).

I'm so glad I found this channel. You guys are perhaps the only ones who introduce such a wide array of middle eastern cuisines to the world, a cuisine which still isn't noticed much internationally. I always try to learn and cook international cuisines but the exact ingredients aren't available most of the times so the output isn't always optimal. Also being an Indian middle eastern cuisine suits my pallete more than any other cuisine and still the food is entirely different from what we have here, I'm amazed by the sheer variety and flavour profile. The ingredients are also mostly available. I've tried some recepies already and they turn out to be not only great but repeatable too. I appreciate your efforts to communicate the right techniques which further prevent mistakes. Keep up the great work !!

In Lebanon the typical simplest way is frying them first, then crush/slice garlic, chop coriander, onion slices and tomato slices (optional). The cooking goes by saute the garlic with coriander then add the cooked okra, with meat include it when sauting it before the okra. Then add the broth with tomato paste. When you serve the okra stew you add lemon juice to it. We have a thing in Lebanon is that we dry them, when dried they have less slim than green frozen ones. Plus the fresh ones don't have the think slimming. Okra and molokeya(green fresh ones) share this trait. I hated okra when I was small but now I make whole stew just for me, I Love it.

Please let us know the other two kinds you grow, too. One of my favorite parts of visiting my dear friend in Mississippi is "helping" her clean out all the leftover okra from her freezer. Isn't that noble of me?🤭

When I was a kid, I hated okra too. Now I love it, especially when cooked whole in either fish curry or a local spicy and sour stingray stew called 'asam pedas'. Now that you mention it, I notice that okra is almost always cooked in dishes that contain a sour/tangy profile, which usually goes really well with fish imho.

That sounds really good! I hadn't really thought about it with seafood, but those dishes sound delicious!

@@tmar8959 Good guess! I am Malaysian, and fish curry with okra is a uniquely Malaysian (and Singaporean) thing. I've had fish curry in Bangalore, India before, and while delicious, completely different.

@@MiddleEats If you're lucky to find any Malaysian restaurants in London that specializes in Malay cuisine, do give them a try! Asam pedas refers to the gravy the meat is cooked in, and is a specialty of the Malacca region. The sourness pairs well with seafood, stingray being the most popular version, but other protein like chicken or beef can be used as well.

To de-slime the okra, we always fry or broil them until crispy and then add this to the stew. We also change things up and will make with chicken, beef or lamb depending on what we feel like. The rest of your recipe is spot on.

The secret to okra is actually twofold. First, grow your own okra as it is very easy. Second, and most importantly, check your okra EVERY MORNING! If they are the size of your little finger, pick them. If you wait until the afternoon to pick them they will be large and slimy.

They also get tough if allowed to grow too large. The problem is, they blend in with the stalks so easily, the're easy to miss. There is a variety that is purple on the okra bush, so easy to find, and they turn green when cooked.

Okra is like soul food for me, never knew people could hate it. Possibly because I don't go on Tik Tok and twitter much. I'm fine with it though, more for me. Speaking of okra, when I went to visit the american south, I had pickled okra, and I was surprised I never thought of trying to make that before. I tried making some at home and it was incredible. I Absolutely recommend it to any okra lover, pickled okra is so good.
