Today’s recipe is on one of Ghanaian favorite dishes: Red Red, also known as Bean Stew.
Personally, i take so much delight in consuming bean stews because, even though they’re usually quite basic, they’re still very rich in flavor and taste, plus they’re easy to make and they are also budget-friendly, so you already know I’m all for it.
I really enjoy beans stew because it can be eaten at any time of the day (breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner) and it can be served alone or with plantains, cassava, yams and even rice… Versatile much?!
Lets now delve into how this favorite dish of mine is prepared.
