Ingredients
1 cup dried black eyed beans/ peas soaked overnight
2 cups rice
8-10 dried millet stalk leaves
water for cooking
salt as required
To make waakye, you need:
1 dried millet leaves’ thyis is what makes it waakye. Without it, it is just rice and beans. Don’t bother making it without the millet leaves, your efforts will not be appreciated.
2 Beans
you can utilize any beans of decision, ideally the little ones (red beans, dark peered toward, ruddy brown, and so forth) I favor dark peered toward beans/peas since it cooks quicker and looks decent with the rice.
3 Rice of decision
1 Pour over a liter of water into a pan along with the millet leaf stalks. Put on high hotness to bubble. The millet tail leaves will begin overlooking its tone and the water will begin transforming into a profound wine colour.
2 Rinse the doused beans and add to the bubbling water. Cover and let it cook till delicate. Mean while flush the rice till the water is cleared. Add the washed rice into the pan along with salt to taste. (You may have to add more water.) Add water if necessary. Mix and cover firmly.
4 Do not eliminate the millet tail leaves.
At the point when the rice bubbles over, lessen hotness and stew till the water is consumed and the rice is cooked through. Rest for three to five minutes, eliminate millet tail leaves and cushion with a fork.
5 Alternatively
1 Rinse the beans and soak it overnight with the millet stalk leaves with over a litre of water. The leaves will omit it colour, the water will change to a deeper wine colour and the beans will take up that colour. Put the soaked beans together with the water and millet stalk leaves into a saucepan. Bring to boil and cook till tender. Add the washed rice, salt and some water if needed. Stir and cover tightly. When the rice boils over, reduce the heat and simmer till the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Rest for about three to five minutes, remove millet stalk leaves and fluff with a fork.
2 Serve as a side dish with Ghanaian style beef stew or any stew of choice
