Okra Stew

This is a long-time favourite. The tomato and garlic sauce brings out the tangy taste of the okra.

Buying okra in the local markets is an exercise in patience as it is important to select the small tender pods as they are less chewy, which means you have to get up early and hit the vegetable stalls while the farmers are still unloading their boxes of fresh produce. If you are lucky, you may have your own neighbourhood supplier who can bring it fresh from the fields to your door. Eve
