Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

MEATBALLS ======================
1 lb beef,Ground
1 egg,beaten
1/4 c bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic,put thru press
OKRA ===========================
1/4 c corn oil
1 lg (1 c) onion,chopped
1 1/2 lb fresh okra (the smallest
-size avail,able)
2 T (generous) tomato paste
2 c water,boiling
1/4 t allspice

meatballs 3/4-inch in diameter. Set aside. You will need only 8 to
10 meatballs for dish. The rest of meatballs may be refrigerated or
frozen.

2. In a pan, heat oil. Add onion and saute over moderate heat until
onion turns golden. Add okra and stir-fry over low heat for 5
minutes. This will sometimes brighten color.

3. In a measuring cup or bowl, dissolve tomato paste in water. Add
mixture and allspice to okra pan. Bring to a boil and cook for 3
minutes. Add 8 to 10 meatballs and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Do
not overcook since okra are notoriously mucilaginous. Serve warm with rice and other dishes.
