Okra stew with fish

Serves 6 · 35 minutes

Why it's healthier: Two tablespoons of oil, one stock cube, and lots of okra and fresh fish.

Ingredients

  • 20 fresh okra, chopped
  • 500 g fresh fish or 1 tin of sardines in water, drained
  • 2 tablespoons of palm oil
  • 2 onions, 4 tomatoes, 2–3 fresh pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of ground crayfish
  • 1 small stock cube

Method

  1. Fry the onion gently in the palm oil. Add the blended tomatoes and pepper and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Add the fish, crayfish and stock cube with a cup of water. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Add the okra and cook for 5–8 minutes, until just soft.

Tips

  • Eat with banku or kenkey: one fist is a portion.
  • Tinned fish is salty: you may not need the stock cube.
