Notes

When cooking okra, it's important to avoid over-stirring to prevent it from becoming too slimy. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can let it simmer uncovered for the last 10 minutes to reduce the liquid. Additionally, using fresh sage will enhance the flavors more than dried sage, so try to use fresh if possible.
