Spicy Okra Stew

This recipe uses seasonings popular in the eastern Mediterranean region: aromatic coriander, musky cumin and spicy cayenne. Parsley not only adds appealing, bright color, but also lends the stew a fresh herbal taste that balances the earthy spices, hearty okra and tart-sweet tomatoes.
