One of the most sacred times of the year in the faith of Islam is Ramadan. Muslims around the world have been fasting for this holy month.
The fasting begins from sunrise to sunset with the highly anticipated Eid al-Fitr feast.
Eid celebrations often include large feasts, gift-giving, and gatherings among family and friends. Eid feasts can include hearty main dishes, including lots of slow-cooked meat, toasty grains, and refreshing.
Celebrate the end of Ramadan with these hearty dishes for your Eid al-Fitr feast.
Tuo Zaafi
Tuo Zaafi is a highly nutritious Ghanaian delicacy eaten with special vegetable leaves used in making the accompanying soup, including ‘ayoyo’,’ Aleefi’, ‘Kuukar’, ‘Okra’, and ‘Shuray’ leaves.
Tuo zaafi sits on top of the list of preferences for the Muslim festival. If you have never tried tuozafi, this Eid may be your chance to try this meal.
Rice and Tomato stew
