As with any Ghanaian stew, you will find a tomato-based sauce accompanied with vegetables, meat, or fish. In this recipe, I am using my go-to tomato stew recipe with beef. This stew is flavorful and is usually served with white rice or can accompany jollof rice. I love adding vegetables like green peppers, carrots, and mushrooms which pair perfectly with this dish and lend it’s own flavors to the stew.
