I am fresh off the heels of sending two weeks in Ghana and I was a very happy vegan. Happy Cow allowed me to find some amazing spots and I was able to have a ton of traditional recipes that were veganized or were already vegan. When I travel I always love to learn how to make dishes indigenous country I am in. I learned how to make Atadwe milk aka tiger nut pudding while In Ghana. It’s made by extracting Milk from tiger nut and blending it with rice. Tiger nuts are actually tubers, like sweet potato, though much smaller in size. They get their name from the stripes on their exterior.
This recipe is delicious. It can be served for breakfast or as a dessert.
