Peel and chop the onions and garlic.
Heat half of the oil in a large pot and fry the okra in it for about 3 minutes - please stir carefully, otherwise the pods will burst open. Remove the pods from the pot and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the same pot and sear the meat in it for about 5 minutes on all sides.
Add the onions and garlic and sauté.
As soon as the onions are slightly translucent, add the tomato purée and stir in a little.
Add broth, strained tomatoes, pomegranate syrup or lemon juice and cinnamon and bring to a boil briefly.
Season with salt and pepper and simmer for about 80 minutes with the lid closed over medium heat.
Meanwhile, prepare the butter rice according to the recipe.
Wash and chop the coriander.
Add chopped cilantro and okra to the pot and simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes.
Serve okra stew with butter rice and lemon wedges.
