I like sausages – lots. They are good hot, cold, good to feed a crowd and are a handy pantry staple for feeding ravenous children.
I like okra – lots. It is good in a salad, grilled with other vegetables, or in the stewed okra recipes we have in Sierra Leone. (If you like okra lots too, try my Crispy Roasted Okra and my Sausage Okra Fried Rice recipes.)
And I like okra even more as it leads me to meet Ozoz who blogs at Kitchen Butterfly through Instagram. I had been looking for okra pictures and recipes and I came across great African fusion recipes on her blog. I knew I had to get to know this person. And when she posted her okra and sausage sandwich recipe, I stopped everything and tried it there and then.
The important thing is to make sure you choose the slightly smaller (tender) okra pieces and cut them into approximately the same size as the chipolata sausages. I have kept this very simple and served it in a sandwich along with mayonnaise and sweet chilli sauce but you can add sauces to your taste.
This Sausage Okra Sandwich is easy, different and tastes really good, what more do you want? It is a perfect picnic and lunch box idea. Imagine opening up your work lunch after eating a cheese and pickle sandwich for the fourth day running – and taking a big old bite of this. Oh yeah.
Sierra Leone flavours – is the spot on my blog where I share both traditional Sierra Leonean recipes and West African fusion recipes.

I don’t think I have ever tried Okra, I always think it looks very interesting though!

Helen. seriously if you can try it.
I love okra! Only ever tasted it for the first time at my dad’s 50th birthday last year in a restaurant. lovely it was!
Fab. it gets such bad press that I am glad to meet people who like it.
I’ve never tried okra before either. What does it taste like?
It tastes fab. It is hard to describe.
I’ve never tried okra I fact I’ve never heard of it until just now. What is like?
I am really not sure how to describe it. Try roasting it where is turns out so crispy that you will not stop eating it.
I haven’t had okra since I spent some summers on a farm in Minnesota, USA as a kid. They had it all of the time. Now, adding sausage to it and you have one dynamite sandwich no doubt! Sounds yummy, Bintu 🙂
Def a dynamite sandwich Mike – I hope you try it.
Now that’s a combination I would never have thought of! I’ve always been a bit put off by the texture of okra, but always open to try again.
Janice if you dry fry it or roast it its texture is different from what you think.
I’ve never actually tried okra before, everytime I pop over I always learn about new ingredients love it !!
Somehow this seems in the same family as those yummy Vietnamese sandwiches. What a brilliant idea, mixing the okra and sausages and then putting between bread. Yum! Thank you.
Hey, please share more Sierre Leone and West African recipes, especially those we can make using local ingredients! 🙂
I plan to Annie, dont’ worry. Plenty more West African recipes to come.
Have to say that it looks delicious – I love the addition of chilli flakes.

Gives a little bit of heat to the sandwich
what a lovely simple sandwich! I’m not a fan of okra otherwise I would try it x
Can I try and tempt you Ellie?
Ha, there’s a sandwich combo I’ve not come across before but I’m betting it’s utterly delish Bintu! Pretty too!
Blushing Lou, I am blushing.
