Black-eyed Peas-Shosho

This was actually the Joloff meal, with the black-eyed peas stew. The rice was good, tomatoey, but needed salt. I’m not a fan of plantains, so can’t tell you about those. The slaw was meh. But the stew was the star! Really flavorful, seasoned well, reminded me of chili. I really enjoyed this! The vibe of Akadi was great, open air feel, African music playing. Their plates are wooden in the shape of the African continent, which I thought was clever. My only complaint is that even though I had reserved a table, I was seated at the bar. There were plenty of small two-seat tables available during the entirety of my visit, so I was miffed about that.

This was delicious and packed with protein. It consisted of black-eyed peas cooked with a mildly spiced and flavorful caramelized onion sauce.
