This Ila Alasepo is great comfort food and easy to make. Just a couple of ingredients and voila! You have your Okra soup ready to be devoured.

Ingredients

Fresh Okro (chopped)
Beef washed and seasoned or any other protein you prefer
Kponmo
Shaki
Kpanla (Smoked fish)
Seasoning cubes
Locust bean (iru)
Cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons of palm oil
Salt
1 small onion
Water/ stock
2 tablespoons of ground crayfish
1/3 cup Uziza leaves (optional)
Method

Place a pan on medium heat, add the beef, Kponmo, shaki, salt, seasoning, onion, and little water (Feel free to adjust seasoning to your taste). Let cook till tender
While the beef is cooking, chop the okra and set aside
Once the beef is soft enough to your taste, remove stock and set aside
Place a clean pan on medium heat then add the palm oil, onions and the beef, Kponmo, shaki, stockfish and smoked fish
Add the stock and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 7 minutes. Add your dried/smoked prawns after this, then add ground crayfish and cayenne pepper
Finally, add your chopped okra. Please, do not close the pot at this stage, because if you do, the okra will not 'draw'
Add seasoning and salt, adjust to taste, and add the chopped Uziza leaves. (This is optional)
Your Ila ila alasepo is ready. 
You can also serve with amala or Eba
