A great, yet simple way to make Okra. It is different from the usual stew form and paired with tasty fish. The okra recipe is from 'The Groundnut Cookbook' but in my version, I have used butter and lemon juice instead of chilli oil and lime juice. Click here to find out more about the Groundnut Cookbook.
