Waakye (/ˈwɑːtʃeɪ/ WAH-chay)[2] or Awaakye is a Ghanaian dish of cooked rice and beans, commonly eaten for breakfast or lunch.

The word waakye is from the Dagbani language, and refer to a particular type of beans.

It is then commonly wrapped in banana leaf and accompanied by one or more of Wele stew, boiled chicken eggs, garri, shito, vegetable salad of cabbage, onions and tomatoes, spaghetti (which is called talia in Ghana) or fried plantain.

The dish is also common among Hausa settlers in the Zongo communities of southern Ghana.

It may be the precursor of the rice and beans dishes commonly found in the Caribbean and South America, brought there through the slave trade.
