🧂 सामग्री
- 2 cups Foufou flour (cassava or cornmeal)
- 4 cups Water(divided for foufou and sauce)
- 500 g Beef or goat meat, cubed
- 2 tbsp Palm oil or vegetable oil

👨🍳 निर्देश

Prepare the foufou: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the foufou flour with 1 cup of cold water to form a smooth paste. Gradually add this paste to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for about 5 minutes, gradually adding the remaining 1 cup of foufou flour as the mixture thickens. Continue stirring until it pulls away from the sides of the pot. Turn onto a lightly greased bowl and shape into a smooth ball with wet hands. Keep warm.

Prepare the Gombo sauce: In a large pot, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the cubed meat and brown on all sides. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sliced okra and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly.

Pour in the remaining 1 cup of water (or broth). Season with salt, black pepper, and chili pepper (if using). Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the okra is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
