Green Chile Okra Recipes

Steps:

• In a processor blend half of the onion with the garlic, ginger, chilli, coriander and cumin, add a little water to make a thin paste.
• In a pan heat the oil and fry the remaining onions till golden and remove them and set aside.
• Add the spice mixture to the pan and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
• Add the okra, lemon juice and 4 fluid oz of water, simmer till the okra is tender.
• Serve garnished with the fried onion.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place chile pepper on top, cut sides down.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened pepper into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow pepper to steam as it cool, about 10 minutes. Remove skin and chop flesh.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion in the hot oil until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in chile pepper and tomatoes. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until tomatoes soften and liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Stir okra, salt, cumin, black pepper, and white pepper into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, until okra is tender, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Trim the very top of the stem of the okra pods, as they are often brown. Cut into 1-inch diagonal pieces and add to a baking sheet. Toss with the oil. Dry the chickpeas in a paper towel or a kitchen towel and add to the baking sheet.
• Combine the garam masala and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the okra and chickpeas and toss to coat; everything should look evenly dusted. Spread the ingredients in a single layer and roast until the okra is tender when pierced with a knife and the chickpeas are crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Season with salt. Toss together and serve while warm.

Steps:

• For the spice mix: In a small bowl, mix to combine the ground cumin seeds, garlic powder, paprika, chile flakes, and ground coriander seeds.
• For the chili: Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the moisture has evaporated, and the beef is browned. Drain the beef of any fat that has rendered, and deglaze the pan with half of the beer.
• In a separate pot, add the remaining tablespoon vegetable oil, and add the onion, garlic, peppers, and okra, and saute over medium-high heat. Sprinkle over the chili spice mix, and the chipotle pepper, stirring to combine. Deglaze the pot with the remaining beer, and add the browned beef.
• Add the diced tomatoes, and stock, and then bring everything to a boil. Place the lid over the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer. After 1 hour, add in the kidney beans, and cilantro stems. Keep cooking for another 30 minutes over low heat.
• Adjust the chili's seasonings with salt, and black pepper, to taste. Switch off the heat and garnish with the cilantro leaves.
