Waakye

Description

The Full Waakye Experience

• The Rice & Beans: Perfectly textured, non-mushy rice and beans infused with the natural antioxidants and color of sorghum stalks.

• The “Black Gold” (Shito): No Waakye is complete without our house-made Shito—a dark, spicy, and intensely savory pepper sauce made with ginger, crustaceans, and smoked fish.

• Rich Tomato Stew: A thick, well-seasoned red stew featuring tender pieces of wele (cow skin) and your choice of protein.

• The Essential Sides: Every bowl comes with the classic “Gali” (moistened cassava granules), spaghetti (talia), and a fresh salad.

Must-Have Accompaniments

To get the true “Ghanaian Roadside” feel, we recommend adding:

• Fried Plantain (Kelewele Style): Sweet, spicy, and soft—the perfect contrast to the savory beans.

• Extra Shito: Because you can never have enough of that smoky black pepper sauce.

• Avocado Slices: Adds a creamy, fresh dimension to the hearty rice.

Our Traditional Method

• Authentic Sorghum Leaves: We use real dried millet/sorghum stalks to ensure the color and flavor are 100% natural and traditional.

• The Perfect Wele: Our cow skin is slow-simmered in the tomato stew until it is soft, succulent, and bursting with flavor.

Chef’s Note: In Ghana, Waakye is traditionally enjoyed in a banana or lotus leaf, which adds its own subtle fragrance. We pack ours to retain that ‘steamed’ moisture and heat, ensuring it tastes exactly like it was served from a steaming pot at your favorite waakye joint in Osu.
