Easy Fonio Waakye Recipe // The NK Eat From Home Guide

My friends and I often joke that “waakye is life and shitor is bae!”. Waakye is a beloved dish in Ghana; the dish rarely has enemies. My love for waakye and shitor inspired me to develop a less starchy alternative with a plant based alternative for shitor. The vegan shitor is made with dried oyster mushroom in place of the fish and shrimp powder. Not to worry at all, the shitor tastes simply amazing, not to mention the fonio which acts as a perfect replacement for rice. If you are curious about plant based versions of Ghanaian favorites or are looking for ways to replace starchy carbohydrates with less starchy alternatives, this recipe is definitely for you.
