It is a good source of fiber, magnesium, folate, vitamin A and vitamin B6. Okra is a nutrient dense vegetable (although classified as a fruit) that is low in calories and carbs. Add the roasted okra just few minutes before serving. You can also cook the meat stew ahead.You can make a lot at a time, portion it in containers and freeze. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.For a variation, you could serve it with a simple dill rice (without the Lima beans) or cauliflower rice (lower the spices and lemon).In some of the middle eastern countries it is also served with a rice pilaf made with additional vermicelli and topped with crunchy pine nuts.You can also serve it with quinoa, couscous or flatbread like naan, barbari bread or pita bread.I served it with brown rice seasoned with some saffron on the top. ![]()
