I am making this right now! I put a little lemon juice and white wine and parsley in mine haha! It’s turning out to be soooooooo tasty right now! Thank you beautiful chef!
Hi Katerina, l iust finished watching one of your old videos about okra ! Ilove this food but I don't cook it often, youmade it look so easy!! You speak so good English, how did you learn? I master mine at the age 16 when I migrated to London, England.I lived there 10years and after moved to Australia 53 years ago .Good luck in everything you do and God bless you alwas ❤🌹🦘
Thank you so much for your kind words and beautiful comments my dear friend. I have never lived abroad, I was born and raised in Greece but I always like to speak English. I studied Agriculture but life took me to the island of Kos, where I have my own car rental business for the last 22 years. Working with tourists and having a lot of English friends helped me speak the language better. My daughter is now studying in England. We live in Athens but spend summers working in Kos. I love all my international friends and enjoy speaking in English, learning special idiomas and expressions is my fav haha. Never had heard of the word "lad" or "bloke" before I met my English friends :) Thanking for sharing your life story with me, it means a lot. Sending big hugs and kisses all the way from Athens to Australia! 🤗😘
@@GreekCookingbyKaterina I am very proud of you aboud your life in general .You are so much like my daughter,so strong and independent.She is turning 60 next month and she is coming back to Australia after nearly 30yearsin America to be close to us. She is so talented in everything she does in her life ,just like you! She has a 23 year old son Alexander. Her name is Elena.Thank you for taking time to chat and as the Aussies sayGooday to you xxxooo
That is so nice, you must be so happy to have her close to you again! I will turn 50 in July, my daughter will be 19. I miss her so much so I can totally understand. Wiwhing you all the best και καλώς να την δεχτείτε!@@PatYianni
Hi Irene, I would love to hear the Syrian recipe if you want to share it with me! This way is the classic greek way to cook vegetables as a main course. The group of recipes is called "lathera", which actually means "oily", so this is a tomato based sauce with olive oil. We cook peas, string or broad beans and okra in this sauce. Combined with some feta cheese and a slice of bread it's a complete meal :) Please share the syrian way with us. Best regards from Greece :)
I love bamies, but I cook strictly without any oil. It can still be tasty in the end. I use good quality tomato passata or chopped tomatoes and that can make the difference. If I use cheap tomato product, it doesn't taste as good.
Ok great I have seen and used many recipes that call for tomatos diced, only tomato paste, puree like you, fresh tomato puree(takes too long and in the winter tomatos are not as tasty) I am trying to find the perfect blend I will try yours and thank you so much We miss living in greece as you can see we try and live there through our food
I think the tomato puree is the quickest way. You are right about everything else :) . You might want to add a teaspoon of tomato paste or ketchup to give it more taste, and a pinch of sugar if the puree is sour. Where do you live? Is it difficult to find tomato puree where you are? I am sorry you miss Greece so much, but you are right again, greek food brings you closer to home :)
Hi Helen and happy new year. The reason I didn't use extra water or stock is because the okra is frozen so there's ice on in which becomes water the moment it hits the pot and because I am using the pressure cooker, so there is no steam evaporating while cooking, it's all trapped inside. If you are cooking in a normal pot then of course you have to add some water to help it cook. This will evaporate and will leave you with a nice sauce texture. I hope I answered all your questions but feel free to ask again if not. Also, I don't know if I was wrong saying the word tomato puree, it's the concentrated tomato juice which is not runny but not too thick either, I mean not like tomato paste, it's as you see it the tomato juice that is sold in supermarkets in Greece. Happy new year from Athens Greece!
Hi, I am not really sure what you mean by quick base, but my standard lathera sauce is the procedure I am showing in this video and other lathera videos (green beans and green peas). Olive oil, onion (and garlic), tomato sauce (purée) and then you add your vegetables :)
@@GreekCookingbyKaterinaI make spinach the same way (without garlic but no reason to leave it out) without meat but it could be added. It's delicious with Greek Yoghurt.
You should gather all of the traditional greek recipes and put them in a book and sell them on amazon I have been looking for a while and there is nothing good!
Thanks Michael, glad you liked it. It is a really quick, easy and healthy mediterranean recipe :) With some feta cheese and a slice of bread, it's a full meal. That's how we eat it in Greece. :) xx
Thanks very much for your reply. We live in Australia and learnt to like the okra from the Lebanese, but your cooking was majestic. Unfortunately my wife doesn't like it, and I have to cook it on my own. Hopefully she will like it when I cook it your style. Cheers and many thanks for your video xx OO.
I really hope she will. I have English friends, they only ate their peas and green beans boiled and served with butter (boring haha). When I cooked them for them greek style lathera (same as we cook the okra) it was like they discovered a whole new world lol. So, I hope your wife will like it too :). Many thanks again for your kind words. Have a beautiful day from Greece xx
Λένα μου, αυτή είναι από τις πρώτες μου συνταγές, όταν είχα πρωτοξεκινήσει το κανάλι πριν 2 χρόνια στα Αγγλικά. Τότε νόμιζα ότι θα είχε μεγαλύτερη απήχηση στα αγγλικά, αλλά έκανα λάθος. Οι Έλληνες ενδιαφέρονται πολύ περισσότερο για το φαγητό μας, οπότε πλέον τα βίντεο είναι στα ελληνικά με αγγλικούς υπότιτλους. Η συνταγή είναι για μπάμιες λαδερές. Θα την γράψω στα ελληνικά από κάτω στη περιγραφή του βίντεο, οπότε τσέκαρε το πάλι σε λίγο. Σε ευχαριστώ κι εγώ για τα σχόλιά σου!
this is such a great recipe for an under used and under appreciated vegetable in Canada, and the fact I can use frozen okra is great yummy yummy
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it, it's so easy to make and so tasty. It's really worth it :)
I am making this right now! I put a little lemon juice and white wine and parsley in mine haha! It’s turning out to be soooooooo tasty right now! Thank you beautiful chef!
This recipe is so great for vegans!
@@mayboleansy3724 You are absolutely right and I am very happy you are enjoying it!
Κατερίνα μου I love watching your video thank you I just cooked them but i added parsley🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Jenny mou, of course, you can adjust the recipe to your liking :)
A real Greek uses Parsley 👌

That is a good alternative to fried okra.
I hope you try it, it's delicious! Happy holidays and a happy new year!!!

What a great recipe but I didn't see any water or stock added you only used tomato puree is there a reason you didn't use water or stock?

Hi katerina
Do you have a standard quick base for lathera that you can share
Hi, I am not really sure what you mean by quick base, but my standard lathera sauce is the procedure I am showing in this video and other lathera videos (green beans and green peas). Olive oil, onion (and garlic), tomato sauce (purée) and then you add your vegetables :)
