Garden Egg Stew

African garden eggs (a type of aubergine) are the star of this rich Ghanaian stew Akwasi Brenya-Mensa learned from his grandma. Akwasi’s story The Ghanaian-British restaurateur and broadcaster’s passion for food and music has shaped his career – he’s run a burger restaurant, an events company and a supper club inspired by his world travels as an artist manager. His restaurant Tatale (named after the Ghanaian plantain pancake) opened in July at The Africa Centre in London, and serves contemporary Pan African dishes, drawn from the West African ingredients Akwasi grew up with and other plates from the Black diaspora. His ambition is to establish a thriving African culinary scene in the UK through collaboration. @akwasibmensa @tataleandco tataleandco.com.
