Agyi

Agyi is a traditional dish from the Akan people of Ghana, particularly popular in the Ashanti region. It is a thick stew made from ground nuts, typically peanuts or groundnuts, which are boiled and then ground into a paste. The paste is then cooked with vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and sometimes spices like garlic and ginger. The dish is often served with rice or fufu, a starchy side dish made from cassava or plantains. Agyi is known for its rich, nutty flavor and is a staple in Akan cuisine. It is typically served during special occasions and celebrations, reflecting its significance in the cultural and social fabric of the Akan people. The dish is also popular among non-Akan Ghanaians and is often featured in Ghanaian restaurants worldwide.
