== Description ==
'''Dongo-Dongo''' is another example of an African dish that is both a sauce and a soup. It is sometimes made with fish, and sometimes with meat, but always with [[okra]]. 
== Ingredients ==
* 2-3 tbsp [[oil]] to sauté 
* 2 [[onion]]s, cleaned and finely chopped 
* 2 hot [[chile pepper]]s, cleaned and finely chopped 
* 20 or more [[okra]], ends removed, cleaned, and chopped 
* 2-3 cloves of [[garlic]], minced 
* 1-2 tbsp Arome Maggi® sauce or two Maggi® cubes 
* any amount of dried, salted, or smoked fish, cleaned and rinsed (use a little just as a flavoring, or enough for everyone to have a serving) 
* a pinch of [[baking soda]] -- or—one can [[tomato]] paste (optional)
== Directions ==
Heat [[oil]] in a deep pot. Sauté [[onion]]s and [[garlic]] for a few minutes.
Add Maggi® sauce or Maggi® cubes, [[okra]], and [[peppers]]. Cook for several minutes.
Add enough [[water]] to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add fish.

If desired, add the [[baking soda]] (for a gooey sauce) or the [[tomato]] paste (for a red sauce). Simmer until the [[okra]] and fish are tender.

Dongo-Dongo is usually served with a starch, such as Fufu, or [[rice]].
