Okra, also known as "lady's finger" or "gombo", is a vegetable widely grown in Cameroon and many other countries in Africa. It is a green, elongated pod with a pointed end and a tough core. Okra is known for its mild, slightly sweet taste and its slimy texture, which gives it a special texture.
In Cameroon, okra is often used in soups, stews and sauces. A popular Cameroonian dish with okra is "Ndolé", a traditional stew usually prepared with fish or meat. Here is a simple recipe for Cameroonian ndolé with okra:
Ingredients:
500 g meat or fish (e.g. beef, chicken or fish fillets).
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp ground peanut butter
200 g okra, sliced
200 g spinach or cassava leaves, chopped
1 tbsp dried prawns (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Fry the meat or fish in a pot with a little oil until brown. Add the onions and garlic and continue frying until soft.
Add the tomato paste and peanut butter and mix well.
Add okra and spinach or cassava leaves and stir.
Optionally, add dried prawns to intensify the flavour.
Add water until all ingredients are lightly covered and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the flavours are well blended.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Ndolé is a hearty dish often served with rice or fufu, a traditional Cameroonian dough made from cassava or maize. It is a delicious way to enjoy okra in Cameroonian cuisine!
