Vložit

- Waakye or rice and beans is a Ghanaian staple. It is usually paired with stew, and some other condiments. It can be enjoyed homemade or as a street food.
INGREDIENTS:
3cups black eyed peas
3 cups rice
4-5 sorghum leaves or Waakye leaves
1tsp baking soda (optional)
Salt to taste
71/2 cups water
Tips:
If you don’t have the leaves, you can substitute with 1TBSP BAKING SODA or red beans.
The sorghum leaves are packed with nutrients and very medicinal, they are readily available online and at any African-Caribbean supermarket
Should you have leftovers, you can warm it up in the microwave but since the the microwave tends to dry some food out, just sprinkle a little bit of water on it before warming it and that would help retain the moisture in the Waakye- you can use this technique for any rice dish.
Also plz don’t forget to rinse off your beans and Waakye leaves.
THank you and enjoy the recipe 😘

Please how can I get the sorghum leaves? 😩😩
Hello! Thank you, if you are located abroad you can purchase it from any African store.
We do our rice similar.

I am in eastern America, where can I get Waakye leaves and how do I test Thier authenticity? Just the red colour I presume?
Yes, if you have an African Caribbean market around, you should find it.

Is baking soda same as bicarbonate of soda
Hello Sandra, yes it is!! Thank you.
Can I get this in Nigeria ?
The leaves??
I’m sure you can but I will ask a Nigerian friend of mine and get back to u.
Yes dear... it is available in Nigeria however my friend can’t remember how it’s called in Nigeria l, so what u can do is google a picture of it and I believe when u go to the market and show the pic, they will be able to tell I .....
Wow😋
Thank you.
What if I don't want to add baking soda
Hello dear, you don’t have to but the baking soda helps to bring out the color more so it’s up to you.
Please which rice did you use for the waste ?
Hello, I used jasmine rice please.

CAN I BRING MY SHITO FOR SOME WAAKYE
You certainly can... 😁
My rice came out too soft. How do I fix it?
Hi, you can’t unfortunately, if it’s not super super soft you can still enjoy it.
Is it necessary to add the baking soda
No it’s not, if you want the deeper color then you can add it. Thank you!
