THE PERFECT OKRO and GARDEN EGG STEW RECIPE

The Garden eggs and Okra looked inviting and fresh, resulting in me buying some from my local grocer. 
My drive home included what I'd make out of my purchases. The decision to prepare Okra and Garden egg stew was quick, since I had some crabs and precooked spiced Lamb pieces left in my freezer.

The cooking time in making this dish was cut in half due to me precooking some elements of the dish, eg;
Tomato Passata and Steamed meat.

350g of chopped Okro
350g of Garden Eggs
1 large diced Onion
250g of Crabs
