Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 large onions, chopped

20g tomato purée

900g braising beef, chopped

200g smoked white fish (we used smoked mackerel, but any smoked white fish will work)

1 red pepper, chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

large pinch of chilli flakes

2 bay leaves

900g okra, roughly chopped

250g sustainably sourced palm oil

¼ tsp baking powder

boiled rice, to serve

Method

Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat, and fry the onions until softened. Add the tomato purée and cook for 5-7 mins, then pour in 2½ litres water. Tip in the beef and fish. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins. Transfer the fish to a plate using a slotted spoon. Set aside.

Stir in the pepper, garlic, chilli, bay and okra. Season with salt.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25 mins. Add the palm oil and baking powder. Simmer for another 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally. Return the fish to the pan and continue to simmer for 15 mins. Serve with rice.
