Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients

For the pan-fried skate wings:
· 2 skate wings
· a few dash of ground tumeric
· salt, to taste
· 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

For the okra:
· one cup of 1/2 to 3/4-inch cut fresh okra
· 1 tablespoon olive oil
· 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
· salt, to taste

For the salsa:
· 1 medium tomato, chopped
· 1 chopped shallot
· chopped cilantro, to taste
· cumin, salt, black pepper, to taste
· juice of one lime

Directions

For the skate wings:

Season skate wings with a couple of dash of turmeric powder and salt. You really just want the color and flavor so don’t use too much of the turmeric, think of it as a substitute of black pepper.

Cook skate wings on a hot pan with a little grapeseed oil and cook about 3-4 mins each side or until golden. Remove skate wings from pan.

For the 5-min okra stir fry:

Thinly slice okra and garlic. Fry okra with olive oil. Add garlic, season with salt to taste and remove once everything is nice and cooked.

For the tomato salsa:

Chop tomatoes, shallot and cilantro. Mix them all in a bowl. Season with a dash of cumin, salt, black pepper and lime juice.

Assembly:

Plate and top skate wings with salsa and okra stir fry.
