We had a cooking class organize by a non profit working to empower women called Global Mama's. Here's our chef Essie and all the ingredients.
My fellow students Mia and Roz waiting patiently for their turn to chop.
We washed everything in salted water including our her hands, in separate containers of course.
We all took turns cutting and chopping, using very few labor saving devices. All cooked traditional style on a charcoal stove. African yams are really different than the ones we get. They are hard and don't have much flavor.
We made red red which is a serving of both fried plantains and beans stew. It's not called red red unless you have both.
We also made pavlava gravy which is includes onions, garlic and ginger with ground pumpkin seed, spinach and tomatoes. Not really gravy consistency we ate this with the boiled yams.
This is the way you eat it Ghanaian style. Right hand only please.
Ladies who went to head wrapping came in and tried our meal and thought it was fabulous. We did too. I'm going to have to YouTube that head wrapping thing, I want to do it with my Girl Scouts.
