Now in another pot, add 2 Tb olive oil, garlic pieces, and okra.Add the Meat, brown it, and add water, make sure there are no pink areas.Cut onion in quarters, and add it to the pot.Heat a large pot, add 1 Tb of vegetable oil on high heat.You can buy fresh okra all year round. If you are looking for the small size, check middle eastern shops, you may find the frozen one, just like the one I got (Sorry, I forgot to take a photo!) Okra has antioxidants, and other compounds that maybe helpful in treatment of diabetes, and can lower cholesteroltoo.It has high amounts of minerals too, like magnesium, manganese, and calcium too. A cup of it has almost 100% of daily Folate intake! And it’s also high amounts of Vitamin A, K, and C. A low calorie vegetable, and has good amounts of fiber and protein.On the contrary to my past belief Most health advocates encourage pregnant women to eat okra, since it’s very high in Folate, which is a critical nutrient that prevent birth tube defects Why you should include okra in your diet I didn’t really have it, but that what was probably happened that time.

But she didn’t offer me a good reason. I was looking for a reason, why this happened, but I couldn’t find a reasonable one. She made it for me, and it was delicious, truly delicious! But before I finished my plate, I did throw up (sorry!) I said bamyeh (okra) for sure! She is a lovely cousin, and friend. She asked me what to cook, since I was moving to the U.S at that time (kind of last meal request, kidding!). ![]() My cousin invited me for iftar (dinner) house. That happened when I was pregnant. I was fasting that day, it was during Ramadan month. I prefer to get the frozen one that are small in size, and ready for cooking. The longer the okra pods are, the more fibrous it gets. It’s called lady fingers too! Is a vegetable, its contains edible seeds. When I was young, my mom used to make bamyeh along with spinach stew ( I used to love spinach stew, but not anymore!) I was torn, I love them both! They are my favorites! What should I pick? I tried to make my mind, and choose one, but many times I ended up eating both of them! 2 plates in one setting! That was a big meal! Okra
