This has been one of my favourite recipes. Amazing flavours!! I love every ingredient. It's one of those dishes that takes a bit of time to cook, but is pretty easy to get it right because it just relies on a great combination. I use fresh greens and just dump them in a bit earlier. Depending on the availability of ingredients, sometimes I use chicken drums and thighs and sometimes I skip the okra.
