JesseEatzA silky, nutrient-dense green stew made with leafy greens, creamy coconut milk, and aromatic spices. This traditional Caribbean side dish is packed with fiber and vitamins, making it the perfect performance-driven accompaniment.
Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and scallions until softened and aromatic.
Don't let the garlic brown; you want it soft and sweet.
Add the sliced okra, thyme sprig, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper to the pot. Stir for 2 minutes to lightly soften the okra.
Keep the scotch bonnet whole to infuse flavor without overwhelming heat.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the chopped greens in batches, stirring until they wilt down into the liquid. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until the okra is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove the scotch bonnet and thyme sprig before serving.
The okra acts as a natural thickener for the sauce.
