Okra Stew is a classic West African way to enjoy okra (okra): with tiger prawns and white fish in a flavorful tomato sauce.

Okra (okro) stew must be one of the most widely known dishes originating out of West Africa. Different variations of it can be found all over the region and the rest of the world.

There are some versions of gumbo from Southern American cuisine, that are directly related to okro stew in West and Central Africa by name and consistency.
