I learned some tips from this video but have to comment. Water simmers at 100C and doesn't get any hotter for being 'on high heat'. You can save energy by putting a lid on the pan. Also, salt shouldn't be added to beans until they've completed cooking because it toughens them and lengthens the cooking time.
I'm Nigerian, but I loooooove waakye. I'm going to try cooking it this weekend. Can the leaves be reused, or should they be discarded? Thanks for a great video!
Yaaay cant wait in fact I'm gonna market u so that d giveaway can start 💃💃💃. Didn't know about the magi n this particular beans, hv learned a lot Tnx 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃❤❤❤
Adding coconut milk immediately makes it the Jamaican rice and peas and not Ghanaian Waakye o😂😂 Ghanaian waakye does not have coconut milk in its recipe please😅
My first time here but i hv enjoyed your presentation. I love the way you go about it. Your waakye too came out very well, ow the color, so nice. Well done.
@@debaillyfrancia1440 heya, welcome to my channel. I’m yet to find a way of cooking waakye without the leaves. It is possible though so once I find out, I’ll share with you. Thank you for joining us!💕
To be able to get the authentic flavour a of the meal, pressure cooking it may not give you that and also a lot of people do not have pressure cookers, so when I have to cook with that, they may not be able to relate. I love Jamaican oxtails by the way, they give me life 🥰💕
This is so cool, I'm cuban and we have a dish exactly like this called congri, aka moro but it's made with black beans instead.... Guess I know the dish came from Africa now.
@@AkuDede Thanks the reason why I asked you this is that I am Adan and my sister name is Dede the first born and we have names like Aku and the rest in Ada.But nevertheless we are all the same people.
I mentioned it In the video hun. But it’s a double amount of the beans I used because I like the rice to be more than the beans in my waakye. If you like equal amounts, consider using the same amount of rice to beans. I hope this helps 😊
Thank you Eunice, it is so good. In Ghana, I buy them from the market. There’s another name for it which I do not remember. It should be in the comment section somewhere. I’ll find it for you.
It is also called Sorghum leaves or miller leaves. You should get it from the market if In Ghana or Nigeria or an African grocery store. I really hope you find it with the names I just gave you. Cheers
@@AkuDede are you sure is gonna be okay I wasn't talking about salad but I was saying if I can add whiles cooking ,just asking because I just started learning how to cook ,I'm just 16, my parents are always so busy with work and I'm always all alone in the house reading comics and watching animations 😢😭😧 sorry if I'm annoying you,just wanna learn how to cook since no one is around to tutor me with that
@@AnnettaAdomako aww dear it’s not a problem at all. Okay, I get you now. When it comes to a special dish like waakye, I’d rather you cook it on its own and add any sides that you wish to add to it. That way, you can make choices. Adding vegetables to Jollof rice gives it a more fresh flavor and makes it aromatic and it’s an old Ghanaian way of cooking Jollof rice. I still do it every now and then because it’s good. What it comes to waakye, it’s good by itself.
No, I do not. They cook within an hour. These are red beans and they exude their own red color. You may want to use baking soda when cooking with black eyed peas so that it can draw some color from the beans.
It depends on the level of infusion you want, how much colour the leaves contain (sometimes, some contain lots of colour, so it comes out pretty quickly, others do not so they take about 5 minutes or so) and the quantity of leaves you are cooking with (if you are using quite a number, it could take about 3 minutes or so). The trick is to check for when the colour changes to what I have in the video. I hope you enjoy cooking it 💕

You know what you said about the temperature for cooking the beans, I got it now and you are absolutely correct!
I'm Nigerian, but I loooooove waakye. I'm going to try cooking it this weekend.
Can the leaves be reused, or should they be discarded?
Thanks for a great video!
Thank you Blessing. I usually discard them when once I’m done cooking. Have fun cooking and I hope it turns out great!
I love it.
So good!
Is there another name for waake leaves?
Heya, google says it’s also called Miller leaves. I hope you find it 💕
Or sorghum leaves
Thank you Doris 😊
It's Millet stalk leaves or sorghum leaves

Awwww thank you so much Ify. I’m so happy to have you here. I really hope you find the leaves. It’s also called sorghum leaves.
You can use bicarbonate soda when cooking the beans instead of the leaves.I tried this when I was in France and didn't have the leaves....all the best
Absolutely! I have a waakye recipe on my channel without leaves. Thank you for sharing.
The leave is everywhere in Nigeria. Check those women selling herbal medicines, Yoruba local medicines. Just show them the picture.
Yaaay cant wait in fact I'm gonna market u so that d giveaway can start 💃💃💃.
Didn't know about the magi n this particular beans, hv learned a lot
Tnx 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃❤❤❤
Yasssssssss, thank you girl.
This waakye looks really inviting 😋😋😋😋😋
Thank you so much ❤️
@@AkuDede you welcome
Next time use onion and coconut milk to cook your waakye and leave the Maggie cube
That would be a different recipe, taste and flavor. I’ll give it a try one day. Thank you for sharing
Adding coconut milk immediately makes it the Jamaican rice and peas and not Ghanaian Waakye o😂😂 Ghanaian waakye does not have coconut milk in its recipe please😅
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I was here before 500 subscribers. Giiiirrrlll..... you are good!
Yasssssssss thank you!
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 the last time I made waakye it was too dark. Because I left the leaves in for too long. I will try your recipe too.
I hope my recipe helps. Let me know how it goes 😊
Imit is the darkness that it is the beauty of it
@yinka there’s levels to it. When it gets too too dark, it’s not as attractive
My first time here but i hv enjoyed your presentation. I love the way you go about it. Your waakye too came out very well, ow the color, so nice. Well done.
Thanks a lot! 💕
Hi new subscriber.
Yummy yummy
Thank God u pass 500 subscribers🙌
Awww thank you so much!
❤ Thanks .. Does it matter how much water do I use to cook the beans? How much more water is added to cook the rice properly
It doesn’t matter how much water you use to cook the beans, nonetheless, you have to ensure that there’s enough coverage for the rice when added.
Good one. Pls can one use any type of beans like white or the common red beans we have in Nigeria.?
You can definitely use white beans but the cooking time will differ as the white beans turns to cook faster!

Y not put red beans which in jamaica we call it round red anyway in d pressure pot and pressure ir for 30 minutes

@@AkuDede lol okay i love oxtails too
Can you re use the leaves again?
I never do and I do not recommend.
Can I use the same leaves the next time?
You can try it but I do not.
just up my alley - definitely one to try, thank you
I hope you let me know how much you liked it once you try it. Thank you for watching 💕
Pls isn't necessary to add chicken magi to it🙏

Krobo and Ga!
@@AkuDede Thanks the reason why I asked you this is that I am Adan and my sister name is Dede the first born and we have names like Aku and the rest in Ada.But nevertheless we are all the same people.
Aku you measured the beans but not the rice. You used 1cup of margarine tin so how much rice did you use . Please let us know the proportion.
I mentioned it In the video hun. But it’s a double amount of the beans I used because I like the rice to be more than the beans in my waakye. If you like equal amounts, consider using the same amount of rice to beans. I hope this helps 😊
This looks very delicious 😋...

Plz hw many minutes should the leaves be cooked
It depends on the level of infusion you want, how much colour the leaves contain (sometimes, some contain lots of colour, so it comes out pretty quickly, others do not so they take about 5 minutes or so) and the quantity of leaves you are cooking with (if you are using quite a number, it could take about 3 minutes or so).
