Fried food is a huge part of Black cuisine. Which, as our friends over at Black Food Fridays would say, makes it a huge part of American cuisine.Functioning white supremacy means so much stigma has been created around some staple parts of our cuisine. And yet … that’s a conversation for a different today.
Today, let’s celebrate ourselves with this Crispy Shrimp recipe shared by Resident Hella Black Brunch chef, Redwood Hill.
Red foods are a staple of Juneteenth celebrations. Most of our families have passed down stories about how the red hue represents our bloodshed when our ancestors lived and died as enslaved humans. Or for the legacy of our resilience. Some folks link the color more closely to African spiritual practice and lore.So when creating the Juneteenth Jawn menu, we couldn’t not play off of the traditional bissap. We had to create the perfect hibiscus spritzer for you.
We can’t think about Juneteenth without thinking about outdoor cooking with our families. And still, this year, we know it’s been a rough year (to say the least), and we’re not all back outside. So, Josmine shared a rubbed and baked rib recipe with us below that’s sure to turn up the heat on your plate, while keeping you cool … indoors.
