👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Heat the palm oil or vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

   💡 プロのコツ: Do not brown the onions.
2. 2

   Add the minced garlic, chopped chili pepper (if using), curry powder, and thyme. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the diced or crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Add the okra and water or fish broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

   💡 プロのコツ: If using fresh okra, you can sauté it briefly with the onions before adding other ingredients for a less slimy texture.
5. 5

   Gently add the fish chunks to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily, and the okra is tender.

   💡 プロのコツ: Avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
6. 6

   Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with rice, fufu, or boiled plantains.

   💡 プロのコツ: This stew can also be made with shrimp or crabmeat.
