Christmas lima beans with okra, (lima beans with okra)
This is a slightly rarer type of bean, which is a pity because despite its size it is very soft and without the hard crust that everyone is afraid of. And I never soak it and it cooks very quickly. Okra is a very healthy vegetable that can be put in various dishes and so today I decided to combine these two foods into a stew ... without any meat ... it turned out great.
Preparation steps
- Measures for this stew are not very on the scales, do not mind! Put warm beans with bay leaf in warm water, and one hot crushed chili pepper. When the beans are half cooked, add sliced carrots, when they soften, add diced potatoes and frozen okra. .. (if you use dry it you have to soak it in water and lemon juice or with a little vinegar) I use frozen..while it is not fresh. and vegeta) and mashed thick tomatoes, and pepper as desired ... Okra naturally thickens dishes, but I still put a little flour mixed in water --- so without dust and what kind of fat is this stew ...
Serving
Along with homemade bread, you can also take a piece of meat if you can't do without meat ... Enjoy!
