Chicken with Okra

Okra is not available here very often. My local Turkish supermarket had just a few today. I talked to the shop owner and he told me that okra goes bad very fast and this veg is not in high demand here.



Where ever I found okra, I buy some.



Many people do not like okra because of the slime. A hack against the slime is vinegar. Before using it, put the okra in water with 1/2 cup of white wine vinegar. Let them sit in the water for 30 min, drain and cook them.



 This dish is easy to prepare. Just brown the seasoned chicken on both sides for 5 min on each side. Then you just have to peel and sesaon all the veggies and put all in an oven proof dish. Add chicken stock and cover with aluminum foil.



Bake at 180 C fan for 35 min, uncover and bake 30 more min.



Recipe for 2:

2 chicken legs

350 g okra, 1 red onion, 2 spring onions, 6 garlic cloves, 400 g tomatoes, 400 g potatoes

Parsley, olive oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence
