Red-Red

Red red is a Ghanaian stew of black-eyed beans, also called cowpeas, cooked in a spiced tomato sauce. Red palm oil is a characteristic ingredient, though other oils are used in adaptations. Onion, ginger and chilli are cooked in the oil before the tomatoes are added; the cooked beans then simmer in the sauce.^[1][2]

Fried plantain commonly accompanies the stew, and gari, fermented and dried cassava granules, can be sprinkled on top. Seasonings may include Scotch bonnet chilli, curry powder and black pepper. Red red is eaten at different meals during the day in Ghana, including breakfast as well as lunch or dinner.^[1]
