Instructions

Heat a deep saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the olive oil, carrot, and onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Add the okra together with the tomato paste and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Deglaze with the wine and let all the alcohol evaporate.

Let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the sauce is completely set.
Serve the okra warm.

Notes

Chef’s tip: When the okra is ready, do not stir with a spoon, but by shaking the pot so that they do not dissolve.
