Enjoy the fresh look of a local vegetable normally given different names among the different local dialects in Ghana. One of the most popular name as most local tribes call it ‘kanzaga’ is mostly farmed at the northern parts of Ghana.

 

I will not go near how it is cultivated for now. Kanzaga can give a very delicious soup as most people will always love to return to their bowl early the next day before the first cock crows. The vegetable kanzaga can be cooked alone without other vegetables but it always tastes powerful when sliced cabbage and some more onions are added to it.

Kanzaga is first allowed to boil and all other ingredients are added to it.

 

Groundnut is then grounded (Not groundnut paste. This grounded groundnut is a little bit rough which is not too smooth as well.), mixed with a little water and poured into the kanzaga soup and allowed some time more to be on the fire. Some people also fetch a handful of groundnut and add to the soup and allowed to boil together.

 

Depending on whether the groundnut is enough, the final colour of this yet-looking greenish vegetable in the pot should turn grey-white.

 

Kanzaga soup can be used to eat with other food recipes but it is best suited and prepared to eat with Touzafi  (TZ)
