Waakye

🛒 Ingredients

• Black-eyed peas 40 g · 68 kcal
• Long-grain rice 80 g · 288 kcal

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the black-eyed peas thoroughly and soak them in water for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Drain and rinse again before cooking.
2. In a large pot, combine the soaked black-eyed peas with fresh water and the dried sorghum leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beans are almost tender, about 30-40 minutes.
3. Rinse the long-grain rice several times until the water runs clear. Add the rinsed rice and salt to the pot with the beans and sorghum leaves. Ensure the water level is about one inch above the rice and beans.
4. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
5. Remove the sorghum leaves from the pot. Fluff the Waakye with a fork before serving warm.
