About Meat with Okra
Super Gatime presents Drita Hoxha’s mish me bamje as an Albanian summer stew. Beef shoulder and whole okra sit in a tomato-and-onion sauce, giving the dish a substantial vegetable-and-meat character.
Garlic, olive oil, salt and black pepper provide the base seasoning. Optional butter adds richness, while parsley, carrot and red chilli are offered additions to this rendition.
The stew is served hot in deep plates. Toasted country bread, a tomato-and-cucumber salad and a diluted dhall drink are suggested accompaniments around the warm main dish.
