How to Make It
- 1
Cook assorted meats until tender. Add stockfish and dry fish.
- 2
Chop okra finely (or grind for more draw). Do not wash after cutting.
- 3
Add palm oil, pepper, crayfish, and seasoning to the meat pot. Simmer 10 minutes.
- 4
Add chopped okra. Stir and cook on high heat for 3-5 minutes only — overcooking kills the draw. Serve immediately with eba, fufu, or pounded yam.
Tip: Cook okra briefly on high heat to preserve the slimy draw texture.
