Buy overnight the meat.

Wash it well. Look for small pieces of broken bones in it. If you find any remove them.

Put the meat in the pan. Cover it with film for food rapping and put it in the refrigerator to marinate.

The next morning mince the tomatoes in blender.

Spread the tomato puree over the meat and cover it.

Cover the pan with non-stick baking paper.
Place the pan in the oven on the firs rack from the bottom.

Bake at 250 C degrees.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Peel the onions, garlic and potatoes, put them in a bowl with water and put it aside.

Leave the meat to boil for an hour and then take it off the oven. Uncover it, to see if it has browned.

If it is browned, turn it over. The lower part of the meat which was in the water comes up.

Strew with a long fork the vegetables around the meat.

Return the pan to the oven.

Cover it again with parchment paper and continue baking until the meat becomes soft and tender.

Nail a long fork into the meat to see if it has softened and if it unsticks from the bones.

When the meat is ready, remove it from the pan and put it on a serving platter.

If the potatoes are browned turn them to the other side.

Look the broth of the food.

If it is much, let the food to boil uncovered, to reduce it.

After the broth has reduced, add the okra and with the long fork strew it somewhat.

Cover again the pan with the parchment paper.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Bake Bake until potatoes and okra become tender.

Do not stir because okra brake and mince easily. 

Take off the parchment paper and put the meat back into the pan.
