- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 hot red pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 1 lb bora, washed, stringed, and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 3 tbsp water
- ¼ tsp cumin
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Heat oil in frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes and hot pepper and sauté 3 more minutes. Add bora and water, stir well. Add cumin, then salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until bora are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Serve hot.
