Can lamb be cooked in 30 minutes total? I always cook it for few hours, otherwise it is very hard. Also, can I use fresh okra for this or your other okra recipes? What additional steps to take if recipe calls for canned okra? Thanks so much.
Hi,
30 minutes is enough time to cook lamb. You should check the other lamb recipes that I've posted under the Lamb&Beef section to see the cooking time and cooking instruction of the lamb. If you cook Lamb Kavurma, yes it takes time:)
Sure, you can use fresh okra to cook any okra dishes. Just cooking time takes a little bit longer.
But, Okra Soup should be cooked with dried okra which are very very small.
Take care,
Thanks for your answer. Next time I go to Turkey I will bring some dried okra for this soup. I didnot see any in the stores here.
