👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Soak the dried beef in water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, changing the water a few times to reduce saltiness. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 8-10 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the crushed tomatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce darkens and thickens.

4. 4

   Add the soaked and drained dried beef to the pot. Stir well to coat the beef with the tomato mixture.

5. 5

   Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Stir occasionally.

6. 6

   Add the sliced okra and chopped leafy greens to the pot. If using chili pepper, add it now. Stir well.

7. 7

   Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30-45 minutes, or until the greens are fully cooked and tender, and the stew has thickened to your desired consistency. Add more water if it becomes too dry.

8. 8

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the saltiness from the dried beef.

9. 9

   Serve hot, typically with funje or rice.
