🫑 Okra & Pepper Stew with Traditional Indian Sp

🫑 Okra & Pepper Stew with Traditional Indian Spices 🍚
Try this recipe curated by our Educational Chef Tatiana (@taurus.season.food ) A comforting, vibrant stew celebrating seasonal produce - bright bell peppers, tender okra, and juicy heirloom tomatoes brightened with Indian spices and a touch of apple cider vinegar. Paired with buttery basmati rice scented with bay leaf.

Ingredients ✨
The Stew:
•2 tbsp cooking oil
•1 medium red onion, diced (@diamondhillfarm )
2 sweet bell peppers, sliced into strips (@ragandfrassfarm )
•3 cloves garlic, minced (@diamondhillfarm )
•1 lb fresh okra, sliced into ½-inch rounds (@ragandfrassfarm )
•3 heirloom tomatoes, cut into large chunks (@ragandfrass
•1–2 tsp Indian spice blend (Rasa Mala) (@pranakitchens )
•1 tsp apple cider vinegar (ACV)
•Salt and black pepper to taste

The Rice:
•1 cup basmati rice
•2 tbsp unsalted butter
•1 whole bay leaf
•2 cups water (or broth for extra flavor)
•½ tsp salt

Instructions ✨
•Rinse basmati rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, butter, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork before serving. [InstantPot version: cook on high pressure setting for 5 minutes. Leave 10 minutes to cool and depressurize.)
•In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add red onion and bell peppers, sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
•Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in sliced okra and continue cooking 3–4 minutes until okra begins to soften.
•Fold in heirloom tomato chunks and Indian spice blend. Cook 2–3 minutes until tomatoes begin to break down and release juices.
•Stir in apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until stew reaches desired consistency (okra should be tender but not mushy).
•Serve stew hot over beds of fluffy basmati rice.
