#bamia

one of my favourite dishes and the food of all time. bamia btw is okra stew made with red tomato sauce and meat (lamb). also i was starving so it tasted more glorious lol.

anyway i randomly remembered stumbling across staggering quantities of bamia hate a few years back?? i was shook to say the least. behold a poll:

for statistical accuracy; if u love okra in general but as a dish other than the aformentioned stew pls choose the third option thank u :)

also! if this dish is also one in your cuisine please share! my 2 minute google research gave me answers only from MENA but afaik cultures all over the globe more often than not share dishes, albeit more local.

Okra stew, or bamia, is a traditional take on the classic Lubieh. In this stew, use okra in place of green beans, cooked in a warm spiced tomato broth. The stew is great with or without meat! When I told my cousin that I’d be sharing a recipe for bamia, or okra stew, here, she asked where I’d had this dish before. What?! I had it with our Sitto, I told her. Sitto made bamia as much as she made…
