Going through my drafts today I saw this post which has been lying there since last year. There are many others lying there forgotten but I will see they are published soon.
This recipe is plain okro. Unlike Ila asepo (HERE) or Otong Soup (HERE), steamed okro is served with stew to enjoy with swallow. It’s popular among Yorubas. It’s quick and simple to cook. Here is my simple steps to cooking okro. Let’s go:
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 2 minutes
Total time: 7 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Okro (ladyfingers)
Locust beans (Iru)
Salt
Stock cube
Beef stock (Optional)
DIRECTIONS
1) Wash Okro and grate, blend or chop 
2) Pour Okro into a clean pot 
3) Add stock cube, locust beans, salt, beef stock and stir 
4) Put on heat and leave to cook for two minutes.
Tip: Okro continues cooking in retained heat after taking off cooker so be careful it doesn’t stay on heat for too long. 
5) That’s slimy, green okro done. Serve with stew and swallow of choice
