About Bamia Bil Lahme

Bamia bi lahme is the Lebanese meat version of okra stew. Yosra’s recipe for Zaatar and Zaytoun distributes small pieces of lamb fillet throughout a tomato sauce with okra.

Garlic and fresh coriander give the lamb an aromatic character. Tomato concentrate deepens the tomato flavour, and pomegranate molasses supplies a sweet-tart finish to the olive-oil-based stew.

The okra is well softened, with small lamb pieces spread through the sauce. This profile selects the source’s flatbread accompaniment; the alternative vermicelli rice is a separate serving choice.
