Waakye is truly Ghanaian dish that is not just full of much-needed nutrients but also, a perfect blend of rice and beans, and that is what Chef Amoo is cooking Queen Elizabeth.

And this time, Ghana is not fighting for the crown with Nigeria, because jollof is not even in the question.

Elijah Amoo Addo, who was awarded a Queen’s Young Leaders Award, was invited by the queen to cook a meal, and he settled on “Waakye”.

Because, who wouldn't.

Waakye is truly Ghanaian dish that is not just full of much-needed nutrients but also, a perfect blend of rice and beans.

At Pulse Food, we wonder daily the type of Waakye that would be fit for a regal, and we think Chef Amoo would end up choosing from these;

1. This Basmati Gourmet Waakye

What better Waakye for a Queen than the one cooked in coconut water with butter and pepper fried flounder fillets!

2. Or This Waakye With Pasta

The Queen will surely love her Ghanaian dish with some cucumber… We know all British do.

3. Maybe Waakye With Avocado

Ask any Ghanaian, Waakye served with avocado (called pear in Ghana) is a complete foretaste of heaven

4. This Iconic Waakye in Leaves

It has been written, “the marriage of Waakye in leaves can keep any person, royal of not, hypnotised.

A heavy task lies on Chef Amoo to impress the British Queen and let the whole of England taste the culinary magic that can be produced in Ghana.
