This is what happend when DUTCH MUSSELS meet LADIES FINGER

It was to surprise that my first try with Dutch Mussels with Ladies FInger (Okra) could make such a tantalizing recipe.

It has been my dream to experiment with seafood and vegetables. A combination of condiments with Ladies finger (Okra) has been a common recipe I prepare. However giving a twist to this with DUTCH MUSSELS made a great combination.

I would like to share a few photographs and the key ingredients of this tantalizing recipe.
