Authentic No leaves WAAKYE

Waakye has become popular in Ghana in recent times. Majority of people cook it with sorghum leaves or waakye leaves as it is called. Although the sorghum leaves have it health benefit, It is locally prepared without the leaves. The original recipe includes beans, rice and saltpetre or bio carbonate of soda. The perfect ratio of rice to beans is 50/50 however, you can adjust to your taste.

Many thanks for sharing. I really love waakye but I'm so scared of cooking it because I feel I might fail lol. It's the only food that makes me feel nervous. After watching this video, I now want to give it a go. Please could you tell me exactly how and when to use the bicarbonate of soda to get that colour and the quantity please? I want to make it on valentines day for hubby. I've told him and he's looking forward to it so I really hope you reply my message early enough. Thank you.

[@preciouscheremeh4181]

Did you use red leaf at all ??or just the salt bitter alone gave the waakye color red.

[@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061]

@@preciouscheremeh4181 she did not have the salt bitter so she substituted with Kanweb(she soaked two or three Kanwe with 4 cups of water ahead of time before cooking the brown water from the soaked Kanwe with beans for about 15 mins before adding the water and then added a tablespoon of biocarbonate she did not have salt butter she said

Hi, I’m a new follower and would love to make some waakye for my partner so I’m really happy to find a recipe that doesn’t involve the leaves. I just have a question about the bicarbonate of soda.. yours looks like a rock form all I have seen is the powder form that you would find in the supermarkets- will this have the same effect or do I need to try to source the solid form? Thanks :)

[@Lamicooks]

Thank you very much, you are warmly welcome my dear. It's the same, both types works the same so you can use it.

[@veraaddoyobo8482]

Hello. Can you make jollof recipe with precise measurements? I know yours will be the best. My problem with so called recipe videos are.. the measurements are never precise. They will be like.. “2 large onions and 3 large tomatoes..” but then they are holding 2 small onions and 3 medium tomatoes 🤦🏽‍♀️
