Ingredients

1 lb. okra, tips removed
5 tbl. vegetable oil
2 lb. lamb stew, cut into one inch cubes
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 white onion, coarsely chopped
2 14-1/2 cans stewed tomatoes (about 3 cups),un-drained
1 tsp. salt
Pepper, to taste
1 tsp. allspice
1 cup rice, cooked

Directions

1. Pat washed okra dry and saute in a large skillet in 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, about 5 minutes. Remove from oil and set aside.
2. Add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to same skillet used for okra, if needed. Saute the lamb stew meat small batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. Using the same skillet, saute the the garlic and onions. There should be sufficient oil remaining but adjust as required.
4. Add the okra and lamb to the skillet and add stewed tomatoes, salt, pepper and allspice to taste. Simmer for 45 minutes, add water if needed.
5. Serve over rice.

I added 1 teaspoon ground coriander to this recipe, otherwise made it as described. It was a big hit.
