  • Okro stew is one of Ghana’s favorite, I remember growing up I wasn’t such a big fan of okro stew and banku. As a child I really enjoyed Baku and okro stew as a left over but when freshly made I wasnt too keen on it. I know a lot of people enjoy this delicacy so in today’s video I am serving you some okro stew. I hope you give this recipe a try and please subscribe if you haven’t done so yet. Thank you for your support and time.
    INGREDIENTS:
    Protein of choice- I used lamb, blue crab, mushrooms and fish, cow hide
    4 fresh tomatoes
    2 onions
    1 egg plant
    3 garlic cloves
    Fresh pepper ( to your taste)
    2 inches of ginger
    Okro/okra
    Spinach
    Handful of parsley ( optional)
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp African spice blend or spice blend of choice
    1/3 cup of Palm oil
    Salt to taste
    Black pepper to taste
    1 stock cube(optional) I omitted it in my recipe.
    Marinated meat blend:
    Onion
    Ginger
    Cumin seeds
    Anise seeds
    Salt to taste

    Auntie Gifty, I like your video wate, can you please do "smoked turkey with okro soup", I never knew the smoked turkey is so salty so my food spoiled after using it (too much salt :) ).
    Thank you

    • @cookingwithgifty
      @cookingwithgifty  4 роки тому

      Hello dear, how are you. Yes smoked Turk is very salty and if care isn’t taken it might ruin ur food. Yes you can use it for okro soup, but since it’s salty just make sure u don’t add salt until u taste and see that you need more salt then u add it. Thank you for the love... Take care!!!

    • @goldcoastseed
      @goldcoastseed 4 роки тому

      COOKING WITH GIFTY hopefully i can get my hand on some okra soon 😩 if I decide to use only 2lbs turkey instead of the other proteins, do I still use the same method? Also about how many lbs of okra will I need then?🤔

    • @cookingwithgifty
      @cookingwithgifty  4 роки тому +1

      goldcoastseed yes plz, just make sure your steamed meat and stock is flavorful. You will use the same procedure. I’ve chicken to make okro stew before and it was delicious 😋. The important thing is that ur meat and stock and base of ur stew is flavorful. Since you will be using turkey add fennel to ur spices to cook the meat. I would say about 2 1/2 to 3 lbs of okro should do. And yes same method. I can’t wait to hear ur feed back.

    • @cookingwithgifty
      @cookingwithgifty  4 роки тому +1

      Hello dear, how are you! The baking soda activates the sliminess of the okro even more and also helps the okro to have a bright green color. In place of that you can use kwanwe don’t know if I spelt it right but that’s the one that we use in Ghana, you can purchase it at the African store.
