Okra-Meditteranean Style

I've finally been getting enough okra from the garden to make some dishes.

Ingredients to serve 2 people:

• 4 oz canned or peeled fresh tomatoes
• 4 oz fresh okra
• 3 TB olive oil
• 1/2 onion thinly sliced
• 2 tsp coriander seeds crushed
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

• Trim stalk from okra and keep whole
• Heat oil in a saute pan nd saute the onions and the coriander 3-4 minutes, until the onions begin to color.
• Add the okra and garlic and saute for 1 minute.
• Gently stir the tomatoes and sugar and simmer for about twenty minutes, until the okra is tender.
• Stir in the lemon juice and add salt and pepper to taste.
