In search for a new african dish to add to my repertoire, I recently came up with this african-style ratatouille. The serving (together with tagliatelle) has nothing african however!

| The ratatouille part is not predominant in the picture because I used more pasta than usual. My body weight is getting critically low and I have to do something :) |
Cook 4-5 okras in 1cm water for 1-2mn. Keep cooking water and set okras aside. Cook tagliatelle and at the same time, shortly fry red onion slices over high heat in a pan with olive oil. Add sliced tomatoes, the okras and the okra cooking water. Use the variety of tomato that is a bit faded (not as bright red) and a bit less sweet - I don't know the variety name. Cook under medium-low heat until the tomatoes melt. Half-way through, add a tiny spoon of north-african "Berbere" spice mix. Near the end, add a small handful of peanuts that you first ground with a fork. 1mn before the pasta is done, drain and add to the pan, cooking the last minute in the ratatouille.
