The meat and okra are cooked together with tomato paste, spices, water and pomegranate molasses to name a few of the ingredients. They are stewed in the tomato sauce until the meat becomes tender and the sauce thickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bamia or Bamya is the Arabic word for okra. The inside of okra pod has a slimy texture particularly when cooked, which is off putting for some. When making bamia, the okra can be cooked whole to decrease sliminess in the stew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okra is a flowering plant from the mallow plant family. While technically a fruit, it is cooked and eaten like a vegetable. It&rsquo;s believed to be native to Africa but it grows well in nearby Middle East where it is a part of many dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meat can be veal, lamb or beef. Chicken is sometimes used. There are also vegetarian versions. Bamia can taste slightly tangy due to the use of lemon juice. It is served with rice or flatbread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origin &amp; Cultural Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The precise origin of Bamia is unknown, however it is enjoyed in many countries including <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/lebanese-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"64338\">Lebanon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/armenian-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"65817\">Armenia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/iranian-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"65319\">Iran<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/afghan-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"63449\">Afghanistan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/turkish-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"26744\">Turkey<\/a>, Jordan, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/palestine-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"65145\">Palestine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/egyptian-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"157\">Egypt<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/syrian-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"64759\">Syria<\/a> and amongst Arabian communities in other countries such as <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/malaysian-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"64120\">Malaysia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/singapore-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"64935\">Singapore<\/a> where it&rsquo;s not uncommon to find bamia being made with ingredients from those cuisines such as curry and spicy peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mv-recipe\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Bamia Recipe (Middle Eastern Okra & Beef Stew)\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Travel Food Atlas\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-03-25\",\"recipeYield\":6,\"description\":\"Bamia is an okra and beef stew popular throughout the Middle East.
