Directions
This is the BEST and EASIEST Bamiyeh recipe you’ll ever eat! I modified this recipe from the traditional Bamiyeh in 2 ways: 1. No frying Okra; it’s steamed which really makes absolutely no difference. 2. I used all fresh tomatoes instead of substituting with canned or tomato paste (no heartburn, and also makes no difference, it actually brings out more flavour this way).
To clean the Okra just cut off the stems at the end.
To prep the tomatoes. Place whole tomatoes in a large bowl with boiling water. Leave for 10 minutes. Remove water and the skin should easily peel off then crush them with your hands into the bowl.
