Title: Okra with Tomatoes
Categories: Vegetables, Kuwaiti
Yield: 6 servings

1 1/2 lb Fresh (or frozen) okra
6 tb Olive oil
4 Garlic cloves
— peeled and minced
2 md Onions; peeled
— cut into 3/4-inch dice
2 md Tomatoes
— peeled coarsely chopped
1 ts Ground coriander
1 1/2 ts Salt (or to taste)
1/8 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1 tb Lemon juice

Wash okra and trim it. (To trim the okra, cut off a small section at
the tip. The stem end looks prettiest if trimmed in a conical shape.)

Heat the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over a medium flame. Put in
the garlic and onions. Stir and fry until onions turn translucent,
turning the heat down if necessary. Put in the okra. Stir and fry
for another minute. Now put in all the remaining ingredients plus
1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and
cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes or until okra is tender. (Large
pods will take a bit longer to cook though).

Serve either hot or cold.

A RUB IS A HGIHLY CONCENTRATED BLEND OF HERBS AND SPICES THAT FLAVORS THE
EXTERIOR OF THE MEAT AS IT GRILLS. RUBS ARE APPLIED TO THE EXTERIOR
SURFACE OF THE MEAT JUST BEFORE GRILLING; THEY NEED NO STANDING TIME.
HOWEVER FOR CONVENIENCE RUBS MAY BE APPLIED SEVERAL HRS IN ADVANCE. THE
COATED MEAT SHOULD BE REFRIGERATED UNTIL GRILLING TIME. FLAVORS BECOME
MORE PRONOUNCED THE LONGER THE RUB IS ON THE MEAT.

4 tb Sugar
2 Eggs
6 tb Vegetable oil
1 1/2 ts Salt
3/4 c -Water; warm,

1. Combine all ingredients in the pan in the order
listed and select white bread; push start If you
don’t have a DAK follow the directions for your own
machine. You can bake it in your machine OR follow the
directions below.

2. When we make this into Challa, we remove it from
the breadmaker after the manual mode stops, (second
rise); and then braid and rise again; then put an egg
wash over the challa.

3. EGG WASH: One egg beaten with an equal amount of
water. Brush on liberally BEFORE baking and then once
during the bake. It makes the challa have a hard and
shiny crust. BEAUTIFUL. You can sprinkle on seeds of
your choice , (sesame or poppy), after the first
`wash’.

4. BAKE in a 350 degree oven until a light toasty
brown. We usually sprinkle

NOTE: When I serve this challa to company they have a
hard time believing that it comes out of our oven
