okra stew
Mucilaginous vegetable dish
Okra stew is a dish built around okra pods simmered with tomatoes, onions, and spices, often with meat or seafood.
The preparation appears across West African, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and Southern American cuisines, each with regional variations.
The okra releases a mucilaginous texture that thickens the broth: We had okra stew with rice for dinner.
