Ghana in Focus: Ghanaian Cuisine Part II

Send us Fan MailThis week's  edition of Ghana in Focus is Part II of our series looking into Ghanaian cuisine.  We take at look at 2 more popular Ghanaian dishes, Waakye and Nkontomire stew.Waakye is a very popular dish in Ghana.  It is often eaten as a morning meal or for lunch in the afternoon.  Waakye is made with red beans and white rice and is a food that has it's origins amongst the Hausa speaking peoples of Northern Ghana and as these Hausa speaking peoples migrated to other pats  of Ghana it has become one of the most popular and widely eaten dishes in Ghana.In actual fact Waakye is very similar to the Jamaican Rice and Peas, the only difference is that rather than using red beans the Jamaicans use kidney beans . --- so this shows the culinary links between Hausa speaking peoples of Ghana and Jamaicans.  In fact some Jamaicans may be able to trace their ancestral origin to the Northern part of Ghana.Another popular Ghanaian dish is Nkontomire/Palavar stew which in essence is spinach.  This is a very versatile dish that can be eaten with boiled yam/plantain, boiled sweet plantain and steamed white rice.How to make Waakye: ====== The Best Authentic Ghana Waakye Ever || Rice and Beans Dish - YouTubehow to make Nkontomire stew ====== HOW TO PREPARE THE BEST GHANAIAN KONTOMIRE STEW (PALAVA SAUCE) WITH AGUSHIE | Kharie Cooks RECIPE - YouTubePlease help Ghanaian farmers by being a sponsor - https://www.growforme.com/enHere is the zoom link for my first live  Q & A ( ask anything about relocating to Ghana) session on the 30th September at 10pm UK Time:  https://us04web.zoom.us/j/71851904746?pwd=Mcc0rBFVdPqrK4oTcJ2gOR9lA1aPGD.1Meeting ID: 718 5190 4746Passcode: y4icx7  Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
