Rice and black-eyed beans with stew, shito, gari, spaghetti, egg and salad
Waakye (pronounced 'waa-chay') is Ghana's beloved rice and black-eyed beans, cooked together with dried sorghum leaves that give the grains their deep red-brown colour. Served the full Accra way: with stew, shito, gari, spaghetti, boiled egg, fried plantain and salad, and your choice of meat or fish. Breakfast, lunch or dinner — it is Ghana's everything-dish.
How to eat it: Mix it all together. That's the way.
