Trim the okra tops in a cone shape and soak the pods in lemon water for 10 minutes.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 4 minutes.
Add the tomato and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the okra, lemon juice, salt, and sugar.
Cook over low heat for 32 minutes, stirring as little as possible.
💡 Tip: Trim the okra tops into a cone shape, not straight across, so the pods stay intact and do not become slimy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold or lukewarm with lemon wedges.
