A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring fresh okra and vegetables, perfect as a side or main course.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the vegetables to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the onion.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Garlic cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Add the diced tomatoes, sliced bell pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Mix thoroughly to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Add the sliced okra and stir to combine. Cover and cook until the okra is tender, about 10 minutes.
Avoid overcooking the okra to maintain its texture.
Serve warm as a side dish or over rice as a main course.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
