Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

For buttered okra with preserved lemon,

place 450 g okra in a non-metallic bowl, pour over the juice of 2 lemons and leave to stand for 4 minutes, then drain well. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the base of a tagine or a large, heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat, add the okra and cook for 4–5 minutes until it is tender. Stir in the sliced rind of 1 preserved lemon and season. Pour over 1 tablespoon melted butter and serve with plain, buttery couscous.
