Preparation

Wash the okra, trim the tops then cut into thin rounds.
Heat the palm oil in a pot, sauté the sliced onion for 3 minutes.
Add the flaked smoked fish and the dried shrimp, sauté 3 minutes.
Add the diced tomato and let it stew 5 minutes.
Stir in the okra rounds and 400 ml of water, season with salt and add the chili.
Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring regularly: the okra will naturally thicken the soup and make it silky.
Adjust the seasoning and serve this silky soup piping hot with rice or fufu.
