Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp oil to sauté
- 2 onions, cleaned and finely chopped
- 2 hot chili peppers, cleaned and finely chopped
- 20 or more okra, ends removed, cleaned, and chopped
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 tbsp Arome Maggi® sauce or two Maggi® cubes
- any amount of dried, salted, or smoked fish, cleaned and rinsed (use a little just as a flavoring, or enough for everyone to have a serving)
- a pinch of baking soda -- or -- one can tomato paste (optional)
Directions
Heat oil in a deep pot. Sauté onions and garlic for a few minutes.
Add Maggi® sauce or Maggi® cubes, okra, and peppers. Cook for several minutes.
Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add fish.
If desired, add the baking soda (for a gooey sauce) or the tomato paste (for a red sauce). Simmer until the okra and fish are tender.
Dongo-Dongo is usually served with a starch, such as Fufu, or Rice.
