To make Tomato-Braised Okra with Za’Atar heat the oil or fat in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Add the garlic, chilli, za’atar and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Next, stir in the okra, tomatoes, broth or stock and lemon zest and bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the okra is cooked through.

Mix in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle over some extra za’atar, drizzle with olive oil and serve.
