This will help to soften them and make them easier to cook. When you are ready, drain the peas and place them in a large saucepan with 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, wash 1 cup of long-grain rice and add to a saucepan. Add 2 cups of water, waakye leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Remove the waakye leaves.
Once the peas and rice are cooked, drain off any excess water and transfer to a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 chopped tomatoes, 2 chopped onions, 2 cloves of minced garlic, a pinch of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt. Give everything a good stir.
Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finally, garnish with fresh parsley, diced tomatoes, and Beef/Fish. Yumm!
