Hi dolls
Did you know that Okra is one of the ultimate beauty food? It has so many wonderful properties and in some parts of the world,where people consume a lot of okras,the consumers look younger,healthier and are less likely to get cancer.Okras can also be used as a facial mask and during World War II people were roasting okra seeds to use them as a coffee substitute.
Especially when you eat okras for the first time you may or may not like the texture.I love it,silky smooth and fabulous.
For the okra puree you need:
200 gr frozen okras
3 large potatoes (diced)
1 shallot (diced)
1 carrot (sliced)
50 ml soy cream
olive oil
nutmeg
1 rosemary twig
a dash of dried oregano and thyme
pepper salt
water
Add your cut vegetables in a medium sized pot,cover them with water and a teaspoon of olive oil.
Bring to a boil and add the rosemary twig to the water.Boil veggies until tender and once they are done,drain them.Season,add cream and a tablespoon of olive oil.Now mash the veggies with a sturdy balloon whisk.
Taste and season if needed.
Sprinkle with herbs and serve.
