Honestly I wished I knew the individual who created this recipe for Ghana. This individual needs to be celebrated.
The textures and flavours of this rather simple Ghanaian dish is one you need to try.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
The creamy slightly sweet flavour of the Black Eyed Beans pairs well with the crunchy slightly fermented taste of the Gari including the candy like flavour of the fried Plantain.
The above flavour is then drizzled with a smoky and spicy Onion oil which makes it a Vegan powerhouse of flavour.
There’s another version of this recipe known locally as ‘Red Red’ as Red Palm Oil or Zomi (spiced Palm Oil) is used.
