I tend to miss Sierra Leone a lot at this time of the year. As I wrap up warm in front of the wood burner, drinking endless cups of warming chai tea, I daydream about blue skies, sunny days, sandy white beaches, friends, family and good, good food. There is not much that I can do about the landscape, but I certainly do a lot about the food. I start cooking a lot of Sierra Leonean recipes and other African recipes as well. Currently top of my list is this super easy sausage okra fried rice. It has two of my favorite things, okra and rice, and can be ready in just 25 mins. Perfect weeknight supper right? This is another one of the quick rice recipes my sisters and I used to whip up for our ‘in the shade of the verandah’ or ‘under the mango tree’ marathon gossip sessions. Along with some fried plantains, ginger beer or ginger and lemon grass iced tea and a few friends thrown in. I soooooo need to travel to Sierra Leone right now. I hope you make this super easy sausage okra rice recipe and enjoy every mouthful if you do. Check out my other okra recipes too. Okra sausage sandwich.
Crispy roasted okra.
Roast Sweet Potato and Okra Salad. Sierra Leone flavours – is the spot on my blog where I share both traditional Sierra Leonean recipes and West African fusion recipes. Save
