  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 25 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon whole mustard seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
    • 1 pound fresh okra, stems and ends trimmed
    • 3 medium tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and coriander; set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes.
  2. Raise heat to medium-high; add spice mixture, okra, and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring, until okra is bright green and just tender, about 6 minutes, adding more water if skillet becomes too dry.
  3. Add tomato wedges, and cook until just heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
