🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Bamia
Bamia is a beloved Egyptian home-style stew of tender okra and meat simmered in a rich tomato sauce fragrant with garlic and coriander. The dish transforms humble okra into something deeply comforting, with the tomatoes breaking down into a velvety sauce that clings to each pod. It is a staple of everyday Egyptian cooking, served over fluffy white rice.
