I’m here because I just discovered that the history of Jamaican rice and peas comes from the Ghanaian dish Waakye. Most Afro Jamaicans come from the Akan tribe in Ghana through the slave trade. Slaves were transported from Ghana’s Gold Coast and cooked this dish to remind them of home after they were transported. The slave masters would only allow them to take Sunday as a day of rest from work, so Jamaican rice & peas (Waakye) is traditionally eaten on Sundays. We also put coconut milk in our rice. 🇯🇲 🇬🇭
Yeah I notice that, I can't believe I am 57 and only notice not lol.. I never heard a Ghanian say anything about this. Because I work with so many Ghanians from Akan peoples..We have Jamaican and Ghanian chef in work Canteen. It's strange Ghanians don't even mention the similarities. My parents from St Vincent and we cook it too. Jamaicans tend to forget Akan people were taken all over the Caribbean. I have some Akan in my Dna, but I have more Dna from Nigeria.. somewhere. I remember years ago my sister telling me she went to a Ghanian woman house and her food was so sweet. This women remind me of my auntie who check the rice and peas before it cooks.. I leave it and I work perfect for me lol..
Why don't Jamaicans ever say Caribbean Rice and peas lol..🤔I guess there are some slight differences. My mum never used coconut milk. Not sure if it's a Vincentian thing.
In the Carolina low country and sea islands, black eye peas and rice is called Hoppin' John. It's a must eat on New Year's Day. Descendants of West Africans in the diaspora came from the same people and brought traditions with them that they carry on to this day.
I know your husband loves you beyond measure. Excellent cook, mom, kind wife, and clean housekeeper. Reminiscent of an excellent Haitian woman. God bless you my sister.
Instead of me to be sleeping,I’m here watching this again. And I can’t wait for morning to come so that I can sort myself out. 🥺🥺 mummy Adjeley you do it better
I'm happy I joined your channel. I just found out that I am of the Ghanaian descent on my father's side of my family. You know in America a lot of African Americans do not know their heritage. I'm excited to learn about the foods of my heritage. I would love to learn to make them. I'm so glad I found you.
I'm from Honduras 🇭🇳 , and this reminds me of our "Gallo pinto" (Honduran rice and beans). This made me so hungry. It looks delicious. Best regards from Honduras 🇭🇳 ❤️ 🇬🇭
This waakye joint is the hottest in town..everything is in full gear. Thanks soo much for sharing with us n don't forget that the U r blessed beyond curse.🙌✌
I’m so happy you uploaded this recipe again. There are a few different methods you used here as compared to the first that is now off TH-cam. Thank you 🤗🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 Nyumo Aj))bo

Sweet Adjeley you are making me hungry 😭 this looks so delicious, I'm salivating! Oh my goodness! I wish I could have a taste 🙈 this brings me lots of memories because I ate this street food a lot back home. Thank you so much for sharing Sweetie! You are my favourite Ghanaian best cook ever 😊 Please keep them coming and thanks for sharing ❤
Tasty City awwwww🥰🤗😢you are going to make me cry, Thank you soo much God bless you for me, I really love you too, I’m getting ready to watch your coconut jollof rice recipe now😘✌🏽✌🏽
Adjeley! Adjeley! Adjeley!!! You are now owing me beans stew and waakye 😐 I'm not even laughing. This is my favorite Ghanaian recipe. Infact on my birthday last year I had a waakye get- together. That caravan lady I told you about have finished my money.. chai! ❣❣
I remember eating this food. When I was in high school, during break time I will be at the market square to say!! Mama put! !put this, put that lol. Aww sweet team I can't love you less. After eating this food straight to bed..good night let me close my eyes very well lol
Awww wow 🤩!!! Adjeley again oooo!!! Who said rice doesn’t make one full?? (Wo nni sika a wo se 3mo nmeen) Literally means if don’t have money, you say rice doesn’t make you full.. But just look at that??? Salad 🥗 , gari, kelewele, meat 🍖 and all that?? Will surely make you full to the brim..That’s a fantastic one ☝️ Adjeley 👍👍
I just cooked waakye with your recipe and it came out fabulous!🤩🤩 I'm giving my friend some just to show off 😂 ps. The African Legacy led me to your channel
There is no place like My Kitchen Mentor Channel.. My Kitchen Mentor youare the best among the rest ✌🇬🇭✌💕😋😘 Am surprised I didn't get notifications what is the problem I just said it been long so let me check y you haven't posted anything yet b4 I saw that I have missed 3 lessons..
Pls is waakye, the coloured rice and beans? I watched a video on 'Chi and family' channel where the couple were goshing about how good the food is. So I'm here to learn. Is the coloured beans and rice the wakaaye?(was thinking it is the stew). Does it go with any stew of choice? What's the black stew pls? I recently prepared the south African very delicious Chakalaka and can't wait to try wakaaye.
Oh my oh my the gari and kelewele is a plus I,Ivan eat all this in one sitting,very good cook,why don’t you go on the food net work and name it African food from the motherland Ghana,please this is authentic cooking at it’s best
Thank you for this video. My co worker introduced me to Waakye Rice. So I wanted to make my own. However I did not cook my black eye peas long enough. So I added more water and then my rice became mushy. I will be more careful next time. I want to make everything you have on that plate. It look so good. But one thing at a time. What are the best spices would you recommend to adding if I wanted to.? Also I thought about cooking the rice in the Waakye water with seasoning and added the peas later when they are done. I would love your feedback. Thank you for sharing.
My Sweetest Adjeley××× Happy New year to you and Family... this meal is Super Mouthuliciuos .. Plenty Love from your Admirers in Willenhall west Midlands
