Okro Stew with Fish

• 2 cups okro, chopped
• 2 pieces of fish (fresh or smoked)
• 3 tomatoes and 1 onion, chopped
• 1 fresh pepper
• 1 tablespoon palm oil
• Salt and a pinch of ground crayfish (optional)

Okro (okra) stew with fish and tomato. Serve it with banku, a small portion of rice or boiled yam.

Method

1. Heat the palm oil and fry the onion until soft.
2. Add the tomatoes and pepper and cook for 10 minutes into a thick sauce.
3. Add the fish and a splash of water and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the okro and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until just tender. Season and serve.

Tips

• Don't overcook the okro; it stays brighter and less slimy.
• One tablespoon of palm oil is enough for two servings.
