In Ghana people eat this dish as a breakfast and a lunch meal, sometimes even for supper.

A traditional waakye, much like rice and peas, is almost always made with black-eyed peas or cowpeas. It’s traditionally boiled with waakye leaves and an effervescent additive known as kanwa, a type of naturally occurring sodium-based salt.

Waakye is pronounced waachay.
