  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup okra, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons palm oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Groundnuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of palm oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
  2. Add diced tomatoes and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
