Tomato-braised okra with Isreali couscous and za'atar

Za'atar is an aromatic, Middle Eastern spice blend commonly used to flavour dishes and season bread. Okra, whilst not widely known in Australia, is revered in other countries for its nutrients, delicate texture and unique flavour. The secret to this ingredient is cooking it whole, so the okra can maintain its lovely texture. Serve this dish hot or at room temperature.
