Okra

To begin, a collage.

Onion and Garlic:

Beef:

Tomatoes:

Simmer with the toms for about 30 mins.  Up to now, it’s been pretty standard really:

Now here’s where it gets interesting.  You head into your back yard, and pick some okra:

And you slice it up:

Bung it in, and cook for another 10 minutes.  Serve with something – rice was in the original recipe here, but my plate looked a bit Italian (what with all those tomatoes!), and I was watching Italian Food Safari on SBS, so I decided to have it with bread instead.

It was yum.  To go with, I drank a few glasses of Henschke 2008 ‘Cranes’ Eden Valley Chardonnay.  It too was yum.

Note:  Having okra growing in your backyard is optional, but very easy so I highly recommend it.
