I may have mentioned it before, but don’t expect to see much Ghanaian food on this blog. Not because I don’t eat or like it but precisely the opposite – it’s so common in my life that I don’t feel the need to blog about it. It’s also so common in my house that I almost never have to cook it.
This kenkey and meat stew combo used to be one of my go-to meals whenever I couldn’t think of anything to eat. I LOVE KENKEY. But I say “used to” because I went through a period – right about this time last year, come to think of it – where it gave me severe heartburn, so I’ve been cutting down on the kenkey ever since. But banku is such a poor substitute – it has its moments but good kenkey is hard to beat. I’ll be reintroducing kenkey cautiously so this old photo is in commemoration of that.
