Categorías:
On this week's show, Zarela & Aarón welcome Sagrario Cruz Carretero to explore the history and cultural legacy of Afro-Mexican cuisine. First, they set the stage with some context about the past and present demographics of African immigration to Mexico. Sagrario shares her personal story of how a trip to Cuba - and her own family history - ignited her interest in this topic. Together they document various Afro-inspired ingredients including plantain, yucca, malanga, rice and beans, gandinga, soup, chitlins, various distillates, and more. Looking for more? Many Afro-Mexican recipes can be found in Zarela's Veracruz. For more recipes from Zarela and Aarón, visit zarela.com and chefaaronsanchez.com
