Okra soup, which is popular in the Konya region and has a geographical indication registration certificate, is usually served as a hot starter, as well as a healthy meal alternative with its high protein and vitamin content. If you like sour flavors, here you go, bon appetit!

Ingredients:

For: 4 People
Prep: 40 Min
Cook: 60 Min
Okra (Dried Flower) 150   Grams
Dry Onion 1   Qty
Veal 300   Grams
Sunflower Oil (Or Butter) 6   Tbsp
Tomato Paste 2   Tsp (large)
Lemon 2   Tbsp
Water 1.5   Liters
Salt 1   Tsp

Steps:

  1. If you are going to use dry okra (recommended), remove the thorns on the okra by rubbing it with a clean cloth while strung on a string. If you are going to use fresh okra or frozen or canned okra, you should choose small flower okra.
  2. Boil the okra in water with 1 pinch of salt and 1/2 lemon juice for 10 minutes and drain the water.
  3. Chop the cubed meat into tiny pieces the size of hazelnuts. Take half of the oil in a deep pan and heat it up and fry the meat until it turns brown. Add 5-6 glasses of hot water and cook it until it becomes soft.
  4. You can use a pressure cooker (10 minutes) at this stage to shorten the cooking time.
  5. In order for the juice of your soup to be clear and delicious, collect the foam that rises on the meat while cooking with a wire colander.
  6. Put the remaining oil in the main pot and fry the onions. Add the tomato paste and turn it until the smell comes out (2-3 minutes). Bring all the ingredients together by adding the boiled okra and the cooked meat to the pot with their water.
  7. Add the juice of half a lemon, salt and pepper (1/2 teaspoon of cumin if you wish) to your soup, cook it on low heat until it thickens and remove from the heat.
  8. At the presentation stage, garnish the soup you bought in bowls with chili peppers burned in butter and serve hot with slices of lemon. Bon Appetit!
