Red Rice and fina’denne’ (fin-uh-den-ee) sauce is a traditional CHamoru dish that has been a part of our people for centuries. The rice is stained purposely with achiote, and the fina’denne’ sauce gives traditional dishes like red rice, a pop—a taste that has you going back for seconds.
And like we do with a scoop of red rice and a drizzle of fina’denne’ on top, this podcast will talk story—but that’s the pop—that talk that’ll have you coming back for hours.
So, embrace your curiosity as Jaybyrd navigates a connection to his heritage, the CHamoru from the Marianas Islands.
