Okra simmered low and slow in a rich tomato stew until tender and yielding, finished with crushed garlic and ground coriander. This is tabeekh, the style of Sudanese stew cooking that transforms simple ingredients into something deeply soulful through patience and care.
As the stew reaches its final moments, an oily layer rises to the surface, what Sudanese cooks call al wish, the face. It is the sign that the dish is ready, that the flavours have melded, that the cook has done her work well. Beneath that glistening surface, the okra has absorbed the rich, spiced tomato sauce while still holding its shape.
Served with your choice of kisra, our traditional Sudanese pancake, fluffy rice, or warm bread for scooping. However you choose to eat it, this is home cooking at its most comforting.
