TAPADO GARIFUNA

I met my bestie as a freshman in college. The first time I heard her talk to her mom on the phone and she started speaking Spanish I was shocked! I said, “black people speak Spanish?!” Spanish is her first language and she was my first exposure to Afro-Latin and Garifuna culture. This is my bestie's mom's recipe for a rich Honduran seafood stew made with fish, shrimp, coconut milk, green plantains, and aromatic herbs, simmered to a comforting, tropical depth of flavor.
