Okra or okro, known in many English-speaking countries as ladies’ fingers, bhindi, bamia, or gumbo, is a flowering plant in the mallow family. It is valued for its edible green seed pods. Okra soup, a delicacy native to virtually all tribes in Nigeria, is highly nutritious and nourishing.
Ingredients:
Okra 300 grammes
Palm oil 2 cooking spoons
Assorted meat
Assorted fish
Crayfish (ground)
Onion
Green vegetable (pumpkin or spinach)
Seasoning cubes
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Heat the palm oil. Add chopped or grated okra and stir until it begins to draw.
Add the stock from the cooked meat and fish.
Add the ground crayfish, pepper, stock cube and the cooked meat and fish (don’t include the pre-cooked fresh fish yet, so that it doesn’t overcook and break into pieces).
Cover and leave to cook for five minutes. Okra is also a vegetable, so try not to over-cook it.
After two minutes, add the vegetables.
Add the pre-cooked fish, meat, and salt to taste.
Cover and simmer for two minutes or until the fish is well cooked.
