How to Make Bamieh Okra And Lamb Middle East Palestine

  1. Wash 1 lb lamb shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes) and place in a large pot with 8 cups of boiling water, 1 tsp salt, and 2 bay leaves.
  2. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce heat and simmer until lamb is tender (approximately 60-75 minutes).
  3. Once the lamb is tender, add 1 large onion (diced) to the pot.
  4. Stir in 28 oz can crushed tomatoes or 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. While the lamb simmers, wash 1 lb fresh okra. Trim the stems and pat thoroughly dry.
  6. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the okra until light golden brown and tender (about 8-10 minutes). Add 4 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet during the last minute of cooking and sauté until fragrant.
  7. Remove the okra and garlic from the skillet. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) to the okra and garlic mixture.
  8. Add the okra mixture to the lamb pot. Simmer for another 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
