Waakye Ghana's Famous Delicacy | Running Food Business in Africa | African Food Recipes

Waakye is a Ghanaian dish of cooked rice and beans, commonly eaten for breakfast or lunch and others eat it for supper. However, it's popular dish around West Africa. The rice and beans, usually black-eyed peas or cow beans, are cooked together, along with red dried sorghum leaf sheaths or stalks and limestone.
Touring the Northern Region of Ghana, I'm excited to share my experience of waakye preparation with our wonderful energetic African Mothers. Please do enjoy this episode of the street food series.

Hi, I'm on a vision to start a waakye spot in Nigeria. I would love to be mentored and taught on how to start this.

Wow! So glad I found your channel. It was by accident, looking for the best recipe for Waakye. Then came across this video. This is my 1st time trying a Waakye Recipe. Looking forward to it. Unfortunately, living in the UK, it won't be as good as the street food in Ghana, because we don't have all the ingredients. Amazing video! Thank you

I guess what is called beans is what we call Black eye peas right ? (OH. USA)

[@ashirifialarsey2279]

Correct

[@freddahe]

correct!

[@aberba]

You'll cook the beans for at least 30mins if it's the purely local type. Those are really hard. Even longer for local red beans

[@freddahe]

Oh really.., what’s the name of this type of local beans you referring to? Local name are allowed

[@aberba]

@@freddahe red beans is all I know. It's actually easy to find on local market. Very red... like red Apple.
