Bamia - Okra Sauce
A firm favourite in the Middle East, Bamia, Arabic for Okra, is a combination of fresh okra, tomatoes, loads of garlic, coriander and a touch of chillies.
Naturally sweetened with pomegranate molasses, Bamia is deliciously firm, bursting with flavour and preserved with the very best extra virgin olive oil.
In the Middle East, it's almost always cooked as a lamb or beef stew but we love it the vegetarian way. Simply heat up the content of the jar and enjoy with freshly cooked rice, noodles, grains such as bulgur or Freekeh with a sprinkle of chopped fresh coriander leaves.
It's really tasty scooped up with freshly baked flatbread or tucked inside it with boiled eggs, a smidgen of yoghurt for a snack at any time of day - and for those who like it hot, simply add a dash of Dukka Harissa.
For those who care about their well-being, studies show that it's loaded with vitamins especially K and A, soluble fibres, vital minerals and protein - even our ancestors were well aware of that - including Cleopatra.
