Thank you very much Claudia 🙏🏾

Thanks 🙏🏾

You are so right dear, nothing goes to waste oooo😄 thanks for watching 🙏🏾

You are most welcome Joyce. Well, it can be a sword and a shield really. Cos remember it’s more of tomatoes and when you cook tomatoes for long it becomes sweeter and last longer but you can lose the nutrients. When you choose to cook it for less you keep some of the nutrients but then you will miss out on that very sweet and intense flavour. So if you want to enjoy this very delicious stew dea then the way to go is this process. Hope this helps a bit. 🙏🏾🤗

Great. Thanks 🙏🏾

@@bezalea out of Ghana for 42 years so real Ghanaian authentic dish like this has been far away from me. Hoping to visit Ghana to eat the real deal 😀

Exactly why I create content like these to help many who loved these dishes but have no clue how to make them. 42 years is a very long time, I suggest you try your hands on it and enjoy some before you go back home. Thanks so much for watching and comment 🙏🏾

Hi Mimi, for some reason your comment was withheld by KZfaq and I just saw it. Thanks so much for your kind words and prayers. No, so like for 1 kilo of meat just add 1 tsp. Yeah, the hurried speech dea, I try to manage it on voiceovers but that’s how I speak, I guess a bid to avoid stammering. Well noted and thanks 🙏🏾

@@bezalea you're absolutely kind and talented. God bless and increase you ❤️❤️

So because of the amount of time needed to fry this stew, if you don’t add the water, the stew will burn and you will not get the desired brownish Zongo stew colour. I hope this helps.

@@bezalea Oooooohh okay, I now understand great. I'm from oseikrom (kumasi) Ghana. Thanks so much will try it today.

Say again oooo. They definitely have not used the best Ghana Jollof for any of those competitions. Of course. Thanks for stopping by🙏🏾

🙏🏾🤗

Thank you 🙏🏾

Awww Christine, thank you so much ❤️ I added 1 litre of water 3- 4 times, minimum 3. Hope this helps. 🙏🏾

Awww, it’s Zongo stew oooo so it doesn’t take make to make koraa. The only thing that could be expensive is the meat esp in this recent economic crisis but you can use chicken, turkey etc. otherwise it’s very cheap to make. Thanks for watching dear🙏🏾

You most welcome dear and thanks a lot. You have a blessed day too🤗

I think you forget I’d be coming ooo so you locked the back door and couldn’t get in so I guess you will smell your hands saa 🤣🤣🤣love u name ❤️

@@bezalea Hahaha Hahahaha I guess so. Ok, I'll make my own then!

You most welcome 🙏🏾

😂😂😂😂 true ooo my sister 😂😂😂 thanks for watching dear 🙏🏾

Thanks sis🙏🏾

It’s finally out 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 thanks for watching Precious 🙏🏾

Hahahah 😂thank you Prince 🙏🏾

@@bezalea 🤣🤣🤣

You are most welcome 🤗

Will send some to you wai🤗

@@bezalea mate

🤗you are most welcome dear 🙏🏾

Yes dear, I used some to mix the spices and I added the rest at around 09:36 mark. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching🙏🏾

That’s great to hear Doreen. Thanks for your support 🙏🏾🤗

Hello, it depends on your location. If we live in the same city dea that wouldn’t be a problem. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

You can blend it with the tomatoes but I usually put them in like that just before I add the tomatoes, but then mine is a bit crushed so not so big in size. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏🏾

As mentioned I purely did that cos my blender can’t blend smoothly if there’s too much liquid. If your blender can do the job without hassle then no need to stain dear. Thanks for watching and for taking time to seek clarification, much appreciated🙏🏾

Ghana is hard so no waste koraa 😂 bye bye menua

Eiii!’n Dhatgirl!!! The splatter dea don’t go there ooo. It’s so delicious but the splatter can be annoying but if you put it on low heat you should be fine and a splatter guard can help. Thanks for trying and the feedback, much appreciated 🙏🏾

In based in the UK. Thanks for watching

@@bezalea Please I would really love to come and taste your food so if you are arranging a future party let me know. 🙏

No worries Robert, I will let you know paa🙏🏾

@@bezaleaMama!! Please are you on Instagram?

Please add it before the tomato purée it just after you add the bay leaves. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

@@bezalea yes thank you.

UK 🇬🇧 🙏🏾

Cos it’s a recipe and as with all recipes when followed the outcome is the same. Hope this clarifies your confusion 🙏🏾

Absolutely Maame, that would give it a very sweet favour. I have a chicken stew recipe like that coming soon. 😊 thanks for watching 🤗

@@bezalea thank you very much first time coming across your channel I have subscribe to your channel

Oh that’s amazing and welcome to my channel. Hope you enjoy my recipes. Thank you 🙏🏾

@@bezalea mummy please I have checked your page but I haven’t found the baked ingredients yet, please can you help me after baking my ingredients do I still cook it before making the stew

Yes Maame, I’ve not posted that video yet, but I will soon. I’m the meantime after you bake your ingredients you have to cook again it just as normal. So using this recipe as a frame of reference, baking the veggies is in place of boiling them as I did. So following this recipe except you will bake your veggies. I hope I’m making sense. Please do let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks Maame🙏🏾

Okay, but for the benefit of other viewers can you please enlighten us on why it’s not Zongo stew and also what in your opinion consider to be Zongo stew? I look forward to your response. 🙏🏾

@@bezalea your cooking methods are very innovative but this in particular isn't "ZONGO STEW" .I'm a 100% zongo muslim woman and this is not how its done.. it may be your recipe for a dish but 1. we never never ever put dawadawa in stew 2.for perfect zongo stew,We dont blend tomatoes, we cut no matter the quantity.. thank you

Thank you very much for getting back to me on this one. Thank you for telling me your background and your experience, I do appreciate it. I believe this is your first time of coming across my video/channel and you don’t follow me so you are not aware of my background. I am also a 100% zongo non-muslim girl, born and bread in Mamobi/Nima. I was named after my grand aunt Samiratu Sinare, who is also 100% zongo muslim woman. Growing up, I was champion ‘galavanter’. I’d roam the whole area visit friend after friend and 99% of my friends were 100% zongo muslims and from my experiences with each of them, I find that each one of them, depending on the tribe they are from would cook differently. Mariama would cut lots of tomatoes and onions and add Maggie and dawadawa to her stews and soups. Where as Wasila and Asana added no dawadawa but would cut up less onions and tomatoes for their stew. Zinabu who lived in a mansion, would blend her tomatoes and us dawadawa if available, all for the same zongo stew. Sister Asana cooked Waakye at her house at Mamobi and sold it at Osu. She would send her sisters, who were my friends to the nikanika to blend all the tomatoes and onions and peppers to make her Waakye stew, sometimes, she’d scoop some of the tomatoes to cook her stew for supper. Sister Afuse, Emayor and their mother Berle, would send the kids to blend the tomatoes and onions at the nikanika for their Waakye stew and the stew for sunna/sanla etc. Berle, would add dawadawa to her stews and soups too. Time would not permit me to tell you about other experiences at my grand auntie’s house. So what I’m trying to say is that one can not categorical claim one group of people do things the same. Everyone also have their experiences and I have mine and I share mine not from a vacuum though and if they don’t fit with what you know does not necessarily mean its wrong. i do however try and find other ways to make these recipes easier for my viewers. Thank you and thanks for watching. Hope you do subscribe cos I might take you on your way of making the stew and make some. 🙏🏾🤗
