According to Sons of Kemet bandleader and saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, the jazz trio’s second album
Black to the Future “depicts a movement to redefine and reaffirm what it means to strive for Black power.” Arriving three years after its predecessor
Your Queen Is a Reptile, the record features guest spots from Moor Mother, Angel Bat Dawid, and grime artist D Double E, plus Kojey Radical and Lianne La Havas on “Hustle.”
One of the most popular recipes searched during Mardi Gras season, is New Orleans Gumbo.
It is a delicious stew traditionally made with chicken and sausage in a creole or cajun seasoned broth.
It also is made with the holy trinity of vegetables that consist of diced green peppers, celery and onions.
I fell in love with gumbo while visiting New Orleans a few years back and have tried to replicate that hearty taste ever since.
This recipe combines the flavors of chicken thighs and andouille sausage with tender vegetables in a thickened roux which makes the perfect New Orleans Gumbo!
