Wash your waakye leaves thoroughly and add them to a pot of boiling water. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the water turns red. (You can either remove the leaves now or keep them in the pot. I removed them).
Add your rice to the pot, salt and more water if necessary. Add beans. Put a lid on the pot and let cook for 30 minutes on a medium heat or until the rice is cooked. Check on the mixture occasionally. You can add more water during cooking if necessary.
Waakye Stew
Blend your onion, ginger, garlic and green pepper with a splash of water.
Add your oil to a pot on a medium heat and pour in the blended mixture, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
Add your tomato puree and stir for 1 minute.
Add your chopped tomatoes along with the spices, stir and leave to cook, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes.
Garri Fotor
Add your garri to a bowl with water. Crumble in your fingers until the mixture is a crumbly texture.
Add your stew and stir until all the garri is coated.
Kelewele Slice
Preheat your oven to 180*C.
Slice your plantain in half. Coat in salt and coconut oil.
Place slice(s) on grill tray and cook for 10-15 minutes on each side until brown.
Assembling your bowl
Your rice should fill half the bowl. Add your veggie trimmings. Then, add your plantain slices, garri fotor, stew, shito and the rest of your optional trimmings. Enjoy!
