Black Eyed Bean Stew. World Kitchen series, episode 5, Ghana.

Описание: 🌍 World Kitchen: Episode 5 – Sharon’s “Red Red” Peas from Ghana 🍲🍌

In this episode of World Kitchen, we’re heading to the vibrant markets of Ghana to make a comforting family favorite — Red Red Peas! This rich, flavorful dish was one of Sharon’s go-to meals growing up, especially on Saturdays after a trip to the local market with her Nana.

Simmered with black-eyed peas, tomato, garlic, and ginger, and topped with a touch of spice, this dish is traditionally served with fried plantains and “gari” (cassava flakes) — but it’s just as delicious on its own or with your favorite sides.

A soulful and satisfying recipe, Red Red is perfect for cozy dinners, cultural potlucks, or when you’re craving something hearty and homemade. Kids can help with simple prep steps like crushing garlic or stirring the pot — it’s a recipe full of flavor and family memories.
