Syrian-Style Okra with Dried Fruit From The Lowfat Jewish Vegetarian Cookbook by Debra Wasserman (Serves 4) 1/2 pound okra, chopped 1/2 small onion, finely chopped 1 teaspoon oil 1 Tablespoon water 1 1/2 cups dried fruit (about 8 ounces prunes, apricots, and/or raisins, etc.) 1/2 cup prune juice 1/2 cup tomato juice 1/4 lemon, minced (rind and fruit) Stir-fry okra and onion with oil and water in a large frying pan for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add dried fruit, juices, and lemon. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring often. Serve warm or chilled. Oh, and don't forget... Star K (orthodox) said quinoa can be used if certified Kosher for Passover. The OU on their website says it can be a local decision. So ask your rabbi. You easily can make sweet or spicy dishes with quinoa or simply use it instead of rice as a base for vegetable-based dishes you are preparing.
