Ingredients
- 500 g okra
- 2-3 medium potatoes
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 1 bunch parsley, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 5 tablespoons vinegar
- Black pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Salt
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Okra:
Clean the okra, wash them thoroughly, and place them in a colander to drain. Transfer to a bowl, pour over the vinegar, mix well, and let sit for 1 hour.
After an hour, drain the okra but do not rinse off the vinegar. - Prepare the Vegetables:
Peel and wash the potatoes, tomatoes, and parsley. Slice the potatoes into medium-sized pieces and chop the parsley. - Cook the Vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté the onion until soft. Add the potatoes and sauté for a few minutes.
Then, add the okra, tomatoes, parsley, black pepper, sweet paprika, and salt. - Simmer the Dish:
Pour enough water into the pot to cover the ingredients. Cover the pot and let everything simmer over medium heat for 45-50 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are tender.
If the dish looks dry while cooking, add more water as needed. - Handle the Okra Carefully:
Avoid stirring the okra with a spoon, as they may become mushy. Instead, gently shake the pot in a circular motion to prevent sticking. - Serve:
Once cooked, let the dish cool slightly and serve warm.
