Interesting!

This is a Gikuyu dish which is usually in accompaniment with others. In this case, we had it with our nyama choma, sukuma wiki, ugali, matoke and kachumbari.<br />
<br />
It's made from potatoes, mashed peas and corn.

The way you would commonly find kachumbari: diced onions, tomatoes, and coriander.

A porridge made from finger millet. Here, it was eaten with chapati.

Waakye - rice and brown beans served in green leaves.

A West-African staple.

This black-eyed pea sauce is usually eaten as an accompaniment to fried plantain. I can't tell you how delicious it is. Soon, you too can make it at home!

A dish made from cocoyam leaves (a good substitute is spinach if cocoyam leaves are unavailable).

Fried fish, cooked in a tomato-based sauce.

Fufu is a "dumpling-type" food which one usually eats with soups. On the day this photo was taken, we ate it with light soup, a recipe which will be featured on here in a few weeks.<br />
<br />
To make fufu, you can use boiled plantain, cassava and/or cocoyams. And before the availability of powdered plantain or cocoyam, one could make fufu by using mashed potatoes and adding potato starch to it, if you couldn't make the pounded version.<br />
<br />
Outside of Ghana you can buy it in a package and prepare it as instructed on the box. If however you live here, you can pound it yourself. I'll post a video of this later. It's quite a skill!

A delicious way of flushing out cold or flu.

Yum.

Ghana's favourite food!
