Okro soup is one of the quickest Nigerian soup to prepare, and its really easy to prepare once all the veggies are ready you are good to go and its also pretty cheap to prepare.
Ingredients:
1. 250g okro
2. 3 table spoon palm oil
4. Beef
5. shaki
6. stock fish(okporoko)
7. Ponmo
8. Essam
9 ugu (Nigerian pumpkin leaves of spinach)
10. Dried fish or frozen fish (optional)
11. Maggi
12. pepper (yellow, red or cameron pepper)
13 Salt to taste
Directions: Wash the beef, shaki,ponmo and stock fish and place them in a pot, add onions, maggi and water and allow to cook for 20mins because the shake can take time to get tender enough,
then slice the okro or you can use a grater(optional), put it in a plate and place it aside,
then blend your pepper onions and crayfish and also place aside.
also slice the ugu(vegetable)and place them aside.
Preparation: Add the blended pepper mix and add to the beef,stock fish and ponmo and dried fish which was already boiling, allow to cook for 5 mins max and add some water.
then add the sliced/grated okro, warning: don't close the pot fully if not it won't draw the way you want it to be(words of my mother lol) then allow it to cook for 10 minutes, then add the periwinkle(essam) and the ugu (vegetable leaves) and add a few drops of oil.
Allow to cook for another five minutes because you won't want the vegetable over dawn. And after mixing string the soup allow it to stay for 5seconds and okro is ready to be served.
Once the soup is ready, you can serve with pound yam, Gary(eba), semovita, wheat or amala.
