👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
If using very salty dried fish, soak it in water for about 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse well. Cut into serving pieces.
- 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper (and chili pepper, if using) and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 5
Add the prepared cacusso pieces and the water or fish broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 6
Add the sliced okra to the pot. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the okra is tender and has released its thickening properties.
- 7
Stir in the shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.
- 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, traditionally with funge.
