I had completely forgotten about this recipe until mom reminded me of it. When I was a kid, I didn't dig on veggies much, so it is no wonder I had forgotten this. Now that I am older and eat my veggies, this stew rocks. I remember my father loved when mom would make it.

TIP: The okra is what thickens this stew. If you are like me and don't care for a lot of okra, you can stir in a tablespooon of cornstarch mixed with water. Raise the heat to let the slurry thicken and the serve.

Hi, after taking a 3 year break from Cookpad I am back. I'm glad I didn't delete my account. I am looking forward to adding some more family recipes and trying some of yours.
