💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów
- ✓To reduce the sliminess of the okra, you can sauté it separately for a few minutes before adding it to the stew.
- ✓If you don't have pork shoulder, pork butt or even pork loin can be used, though cooking times may vary.
- ✓For a deeper flavor, marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) in a mixture of salt, pepper, allspice, and a little lime juice.
