I had the pleasure of being taught how to make what is known as tomato stew by Olivia a member of my community the other day. You can find this stew everywhere in Ghana, as it is often served with and placed on top of rice and pasta dishes. And I must say it is delicious. Below you will find the necessary ingredients required to make this dish along with instructions. The cooking process was approximately an hour and a half. This might not be the case for you. When we cooked this dish it was down outside on a coal fire that required constant fanning. I do hope this recipe is one you will consider adding to your repertoire and if you decide to give this recipe a try, please, I would be interested in knowing how it goes.
Bon Appetit!
