Directions

Step 1
If using fresh okra, trim the caps. If using frozen, no need to thaw. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown lamb pieces on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.
Step 3
Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in half of the minced garlic and chopped cilantro, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in tomato paste, coriander, and cumin. Cook for 2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Return lamb to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until lamb is tender.
Step 6
Add okra to the pot along with the remaining minced garlic and cilantro. If using fresh okra, simmer for 20-30 minutes. If frozen, 10-15 minutes, or until okra is tender.
Step 7
Stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with vermicelli rice.
