Preparation :
Cut the heads off the okra in the
shape of a conical hat, put into a pan, add vinegar and salt, mix all together
and allow to stand for about half an hour. Place the margarine and chopped
onions in a pan and saute until the color of the onions changes. Add the meat
and continue to saute for 5 more minutes while occasionally stirring. Add salt
and 1 glass water, cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and after the meat has
cooled down spread it over the bottom of the pan. Cover it with a layer of
thinly sliced tomatoes, and over that, a layer of okra. Repeat this until all of
the okra is used. Add to that, the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 glasses of
water and the onion and margarine mixture. Close the lid of the pan and cook
first over high and then over moderate heat on the stove for about 40-60
minutes. Remove the pan from heat, turn upside down onto a plate so that the
okra is now on the plate and ready to serve.
