6. OCRA WITH MEAT.
BAMIA BASDI.
Ingredients:
Meat............. 1/2 pound, fat, of mutton or lamb.
Ocra................................ 1 quart, fresh.
Dry Onions .............................. 2, medium.
Tomatoes.......... 2, ripe (or 3 to 4 tablespoonfuls of canned tomatoes).
Broth (or plain water).............. 2 to 3 cupfuls.
Vinegar ........................... 1 tablespoonful.
Salt and pepper, to taste.
Method:
Fry the meat pieces in their own fat, until light brown, adding the onions,
coarsely chopped. Then after trimming the ocra of its stem parts wash and place
in the same vessel with the meat and the onions, adding also the tomatoes cut
into small pieces. Finally pour in the broth, the vinegar and season to taste.
This Basdi should be cooked over a slow fire, until the meat is tender. The use
of vinegar in this dish helps to prevent the ocra from becoming too soft, and
meanwhile adds to its deliciousness.
