A classic main course in Ghana is a meal called Red Red, which is both well-liked and traditional. It is prepared with plantains and black-eyed peas, two staples of West African cooking. The stew's vivid red color, which is a result of the tomato paste and spices, gives the meal its name.
Red Red is popularly offered during events and festivities including weddings, funerals, and festivals, making it not only delicious but also culturally meaningful. Since it is frequently offered to visitors in homes and restaurants, it is also seen as a comfort dish and a representation of hospitality in Ghanaian culture. Red Red is a fantastic vegetarian alternative that is also loaded with protein and fiber, making it a satisfying and healthy lunch option.
