Hudut

Hudut is a traditional Garifuna food in Belize. It's comprised of green and ripe mashed plantains called Fu-fu and a coconut fish stew.

The Garifuna have many delicious foods that are part of their culinary heritage, but one classic staple graces the tables of Garifuna families all over Belize, this delicous stew Hudut.

Hudut is similar to other coconut fish stews from around the world, eaten by cultures in Brazil, Thailand, and Colombia. What separates hudut from other dishes is the fresh flavors added by the cilantro, oregano, and okra.

Hudut is also different in that it is paired with boiled plantains, often referred to as “fu-fu”. A combination of green, unripe plantains and yellow, ripe plantains combine to add a tangy freshness to this ubiquitous side dish that always accompanies the hudut stew in Garifuna cooking.
