    I'm Nigerian but I must say that waakye with all the sides; (spaghetti, garri, leaves, plantain, and waakye stew with boiled eggs, and shitto) is hands down my favourite Ghanaian street food. The deliciousness is out of this world. This recipe is 👌👌👌.

    The type of pot you cook the waakye in makes a big difference. Daadesan pot is the best. Again soak the leaves for at least 6 hours with half the quantity of baking soda. Do not not soak the beans, it loses taste. Watching you I am salivating. Well done.
