Kenkey

Kenkey is a Ghanaian food made from fermented corn dough and boiled. Kenkey is a traditional Ghanaian food that is served as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Kenkey is also served as street food. The word “kenkkey” comes from the Ga language, meaning “sour kenkey” or “sour balls” due to its sour taste when it’s done fermenting (1).

 

Kenkkey is made by mixing fresh corn flour with water and letting it sit for about 24 hours at room temperature until it begins to ferment (2). The fermented mixture then needs to be drained before being mixed with more flour and water again (3). After adding enough liquid so that your dough no longer sticks to your fingers when pinched into balls, you can begin forming the balls into strips with your hands (4), which will eventually be steamed over boiling water in large pots called “pans” or “pots.” Traditionally these pots were made out of clay but now they’re usually metal or plastic because they’re easier for modern cooks than clay pots can be difficult for some people who aren’t used cooking on fires outdoors like our ancestors did centuries ago!

Kontomire Stew (Stewed Spinach)

Kontomire stew is a popular Ghanaian dish that is made with spinach and palm oil. It is often prepared for special occasions, such as weddings and funerals. The Ghanaian dish can be served with banku, fufu or rice.

 

The kontomire leaves are often dried before being used in preparing the stew, which makes it last longer than the fresh leaves do when they are used directly without processing them first. In this process of drying the leaves, they are placed on a flat surface where they will be left until they become dry enough so that you can then use them in preparing your stewed spinach meal.

 

These are the best food the average Ghanaians eats.

Ghanaians love their food and eat it with gusto. The average Ghanaian doesn’t usually cook, but when they do, it’s usually for a celebration or a special occasion.

 

The best thing about Ghanaian cuisine is that there are so many different types of dishes to choose from, and most of them are delicious!.
