What an incredible week we’ve had. Does anyone else feeling like they can finally exhale? While we celebrate new leadership in the US, we’ll continue to do what we do best— cook good food and share real stories.This week we cooked from Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen by @zoeadjonyoh. Nkruma Nkwan is a silky okra stew rich with luscious palm oil, sweet tomatoes, and bright aromatics like ginger and garlic. This classic Ghananian dish is quick to put together and perfect to enjoy vegetarian or with meat of your choice. We especially love the heat from the scotch bonnet.Be sure to serve with banku, a swallow made of cassava and corn dough.Try out this recipe to follow along on our #CookbookClub journey.
