How to make Authentic waakye with leaves and Local shito

INGREDIENTS FOR WAAKYE 3 cups of rice 3 cups of black eye beans A hand full of waakye leaves (8 cups of soaked waakye leaves water) Salt to taste INGREDIENTS FOR LOCAL SHITO 2 large onions 2-3 cups of flaked smoked tuna 3 cups of cooking oil 4 tablespoons of special spice mix (link here    • My special spice mix   ginger paste 1 tablespoon of shrimp powder 1 tablespoon of herring powder crushed dried chilli Seasoning of your choice Salt to taste HOW TO PRESERVE THE REST OF THE SOAKED WAAKYE LEAVES Just like me, I know most of you don't eat waakye everyday so you will be left with the soaked waakye leaves and the rest of the liquid. If you sell waakye or eat waakye everyday, then refill with water and add kanwe or bio-carbonate of soda and continue using until the leaves losses it potent and the water becomes light in colour, then you can discard it. If you eat waakye once in a while, then you can seperate the leaves from the water and freeze them seperately. At anytime if you want to make waakye again and you don't have the water anymore, just soak the leaves again with kanwe or bio-carbonate of soda. This is a good way to save your waakye leaves especially if you live in the diaspora and the leaves is very difficult to come by.
