If using dried fish, soak it in water overnight to rehydrate and remove excess salt. Drain and flake into bite-sized pieces. If using smoked meat, ensure it's cut into manageable pieces.

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

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the diced tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to break down.

Add the rehydrated fish or smoked meat to the pot, along with the sliced okra. Stir to combine.

Pour in the water, season with salt and optional chili peppers. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 5-7 minutes until wilted.

Make small wells in the stew and crack an egg into each well. Cover the pot and cook gently for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
