ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- A plate of barbeque, kadon pika, red rice, and a side of kelaguen is usually the image that forms in my head leading to that rumble in my stomach which sparks that resolute desire that is only satisfied once I've leaned back from the table, smug and fulfilled, with a once-full plate now empty in front of me.
- The achote seeds are soaked in water and the rice is then cooked in the water giving it a deep red or bright orange color, depending on how long the seeds are soaked.
- The tanginess of the lemon juice combined with the spicy kick of the peppers infused into the meat of your preference creates a sensational dance of flavors in your mouth that will have you instantly craving for more.
