1 Tsp.Of Salt

4 Cups.Of Water

¼ Cup.Of Fresh Parsley

3 Garlic Cloves – Chopped

1 Tbsp.Of Allspice

½ Tsp.Of Black Pepper

1 Tbsp.Of Cayenne Pepper

How To Make Okra Stew:

Commence the preparation process by finely dicing the parsley, onion, carrot, and garlic. Set these chopped ingredients aside for future use. In a skillet, pour a moderate amount of oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches the desired temperature, add the onions and carrots to the skillet. Let them cook for approximately 5 minutes until they are thoroughly cooked and ready to be served.

Incorporate the okra into the cooking pot and stir it gently for about twenty-five minutes until it reaches the desired level of tenderness. Once the okra has softened sufficiently, use a spoon to carefully mash it. Allow it to simmer with the lid on for an extra ten minutes to ensure that it cooks evenly. While stirring, make sure to periodically mash the okra with the spoon to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. This step usually takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.

Proceed with simmering the mixture for an additional 10 minutes, ensuring that the pot remains covered. After the designated time has elapsed, gently remove the lid and proceed to incorporate the tomato paste into the simmering mixture. Carefully stir the ingredients within the pot until they are thoroughly combined, and finally, delight in the flavors of the dish.
