- 1 lb Okra(fresh, sliced)
- 1 lb Fish fillets(such as tilapia or catfish, cut into chunks)
- 150 g Smoked or dried fish(optional, for added depth of flavor)
- 1 large Onion(chopped)

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
If using smoked or dried fish, rehydrate it by soaking in warm water for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse and set aside.
- 2
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and chopped tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down.

Stir in the sliced okra and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly.
- 5
Add the fresh fish chunks, rehydrated smoked/dried fish (if using), water or broth, salt, pepper, and the Maggi bouillon cube (if using). If using baking soda, stir it in now.
- 6
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 40-50 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 7
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The stew should have a rich, slightly viscous texture from the okra.

Serve hot with rice, fufu, or chikwangue.
