What it is

Black-eyed peas in red palm oil: Ghana's Friday favourite — beans stewed with ripe plantains fried golden, the red-red named for palm oil and palm-red plantain. Ingredients: black-eyed peas, red palm oil (zomi), onions, tomatoes, ginger, chiles, smoked fish (optional), ripe plantains, gari to sprinkle. Recipe: 1) Boil beans until tender. 2) Fry onions, tomatoes and ginger in palm oil into a stew. 3) Fold in the beans; simmer into the sauce. 4) Fry ripe plantain until caramelised. Serve: beans and plantain together with a sprinkle of gari — the texture play is the point. Flavor: earthy, sweet, smoky-red. History: red red is the working lunch of Accra's chop bars, and its vegan soul (before the fish) makes it a quiet global ambassador. See also: Waakye, Groundnut Stew (Nkate Nkwan).
