We Call it Okoro in Nigeria. Today I'm letting you in to my secrets. I can eat Okra from. Monday to Sunday without getting fedup.

Welcome to my Kitchen, as I show step by step on how I like to cook my okra soup. I call it "Okra My Way" Oya! - Let go there.

2. Wash the meat thoroughly, season with some salt and cook in 2 cups of water. Add more water as needed and cook until tender.

3. Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the pot and set aside.
