Okra Palm Oil Stew Ingredients

To make the Okra Stew

Place a little palm oil in a large pan and heat. Fry the fish for a few minutes on both sides and then remove fish and set aside.

Place the chopped onions in the oil the fish was fried in and stir until semi -cooked.

Place the meat in a heavy bottomed saucepan, cover with the 4 cups water and boil, partially covered, for 15 minutes.

Slice the okra thinly and then add to the meat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the remaining palm oil and continue to cook for a few minutes. Add the cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Add the fish and simmer for a further 15 minutes.

The Okra Palm Oil Stew is ready when it has a greenish-yellow color and thick consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with boiled rice or Samp and Beans
