Instructions

  1. Wash the okra, trim the ends and slice it into rounds.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the sliced onion and crushed garlic for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes and let them break down for 5 minutes over medium heat.
  4. Stir in the okra and gently mix for 5 minutes, then pour in the water and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Carefully place the fish pieces into the sauce, season with salt, pepper and chili, then cover.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes over low heat, without stirring too vigorously so the fish doesn't break up.
  7. Drizzle with lime juice and serve hot with white rice.

Variations and tips

Fish-free version. Replace the fish with cooked chickpeas for a vegetarian dish just as filling.
