People it's better to die eating good things than to die eating trash. Our ancestors have been eating palm oil, palm oil we all know makes gives stews certain great taste so please leave my palm oil alone and stop disgracing it.
@datzfast to this soup i will add one teaspoon of butter so the fat soluble vitamins that survived cooking can be absorbed. without the butter they are gone out my tail pipe.
@DJLunasf Palm oil is rich with nutrition but is a saturated fat & semi-hard at room temperature. There have been reports that saturated fat can have negative effect on the body's cholesterol level & lead to heart disease. There have also been contradicting reports that there is no sufficient evidence that palm oil, a saturated fat, promotes heart disease. However, it appears palm oil is not as negative as other saturated fats such as coconut oil, animal & dairy fats. Everything in moderation
@quitejaded No, vegetable saturated fats cause the human body to manufacture protective cholesterol because vegetable saturated fats are causing damage to the body. you are reading out dated sciece that can kill you. Animal fats are the safe fats.
FYI: Pam Oil is not good for your health. In due time, it can clog your arteries, which can eventually lead to a heart attck or some form of heart disease. Palm oil taste very good! It adds flavor to all stews but beware of the risk of such indulgence. Thank you.
@ama00010 PUHLEASE!!! Palm oil can never be compared to the damages of American cheese, fats, sugars, and junk foods will. Most of the time, its not even the soup but what you eat with it like red meats and the like. As for me I go chop am well well. We have been eating it for generations in Africa but never one case of western diseases- that is until we started eating Western foods! Thanks for caring tho
@dancenijas Look @ da bottm of a palm oil bottle @ rm temp. You'll c alot fat on the bottom, this is what it's like when it enters ur body & sits 4 awhile. I dey chop palmoil n soups all da time as well but it wasn't until I moved 2 the states again tht I realized tht it's dangerous. Did u know palm oil is used n soaps? My whole fam. dey stop using um. You 4got 2 mention tht n (West) Africa ppl dey die from heart attacks all the time & high bld pressure. Our ppl don't go 4 dr. all da time 2 c.
@ama00010 But da same goes 4 coconut and sm oda vege-derived oils. Even animal derived 1s like lard & margarine r all solid @ rm temp- if not worse. N den there r studies dat r showing that the liquid rm temp oils like canola is very dangerous, n dat olive oil is carcinogenic when heated to a high temp before cooking. I wld be more worried abt American cheeses & esp McDonalds food. Once ingested, they don't go anywhere 4 LIFE. As 4 hrt attck & high bp back hm, did we hav dem b4 colonialism?
@ama00010....I doubt it- maybe the fat rich ones who sat on their ass everyday to eat fufu and meat-filled soups. Bottom line is that refined foods and animal fats are far worse than vegetable-derived fats and proteins, and that is proven by science. I choose the lesser of the two evils.
@bsmoove386 I use extra virgin olive oil, but i make sure i don't heat up to a hi temp b4 cooking w/ it. 4 deep fry u can use veg or corn oil- anything that doesn't have canola. And then of course, my beloved palm oil haha. But honestly, i would worry more abt reducing the salt content in your food and drinking more water. All u need to do is drink 1 cup of water (20 oz Styrofoam cup) before you eat anything in the morning. Wait 30 mins and then have breakfast. Do the same for lunch and dinner.
My mom doesnt always use palm oil because my dad isnt suppose to eat it so she makes a quick stew instead. Also I have never seen someone make okra soup like this; you use less ingredients than I do.
@latinabonita22 Idk what doserics is talking abt but in West African soups, palm oil is very much necessary. Its like the main ingredient for that signature traditional taste.
hi where is it possbla to buy palm oil from in london ,and what seasoning is best ? is the meat cooked first before being added how long should u cook the dish for sorry for so many question love okra but never had it as a soup
Any place where africans live, shepherds bush, custom house, stratford, peckham etc. Yes pre cook the meat, if you want to add fish, the dried one is sturdy, if you use fresh fish, season then fry it and add it right at the end otherwise it will be over cooked and break up.
Another thing that will give your okra soup a wonderful flavour, is fresh basil! That's how we cook it in Calabar. Add the basil last, when you've just taken the soup off the fire, don't cut it but just tear it up with your fingers...if you cut it up, all the flavour will be lost on your chopping board! Also fresh prawns make it really......Mmmm!!
i dont understand the deal with okrah...someone please enlighten me! ...some people say that it food for the witches and some say that it weakens evil/witches powers ....???
There are many ways to make okra soup. I know of another way. The meat comes before any other in my recipee. Okra is a vegetable and if overcooked its nutrients are lost. I put the okra last.
Your comment shows you're also using half of your brain. You should use it fully to understand cultural diversity. Within the same country, sometimes, the same recipe varies. I invite you to share your okra soup recipe with us.
@SplookBlook that was just an easy and quick way and okra soup may be diff where ever you go and who cares if you are half Nigerian and white lol so what.
this dish aint just nigerian,its all round,most west african dishes are generally eaten by all other countries,very very nice dish,im from ghana i love this dish,eat it with banku,gari,or fufu.lol
@dancenijas Yes, you are right, lol. I was looking for a simple recipe myself because I do not have ingredients right now to make the nigerian okra soup, but I have a surplus of okra that needs to be eaten! I will try this recipe right now :) I do have palm oil left over.
lol, I don't think so... some people are very less tolerent to salt and some other like it to excess... I think it depends on everyone's biological specs
I heard of butternut and have made it both soup and mashed but never heard of okra before. Looks GOOD! I'd use fish. I'll look for it next time I shop. Never used palm oil either.
fyi, it's faster to use a mandolin to cut the okra. It's the way my mother has been doing it for over 20 years and it delivers evenly sliced okra. Also did you not use crayfish?
this looks delicious!
