Waakye

Waakye is a staple in almost every Ghanaian home although it originates from the northern parts of Ghana and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and supper. The beauty of this dish is it can be packed with so many accompaniments, according to the flavors the consumer feels for.

This street food is made with rice and beans boiled with a special waakye leaf that lends its color to the meal. The condiments that can be added include boiled egg, stew with meat and or fish, avocados, spaghetti, coleslaw, and gari (finely grated cassava) and topped with black pepper sauce shito. Sounds like a mouthful but worth every bite.
