Belizean Dishes

Specialised

RICE AND BEANS — red kidney beans and rice cooked together in COCONUT MILK with thyme and recado, served with stew chicken, potato salad and fried plantain: the Sunday and the everyday plate. ⚠ BEANS AND RICE is the other dish, cooked apart, and the two are not interchangeable. STEW CHICKEN, coloured and flavoured with RECADO ROJO (achiote paste), which is the Yucatec inheritance. FRY JACKS at breakfast — fried dough triangles, puffed and hollow. JOHNNY CAKES, baked not fried, which are a different thing again. ESCABECHE, the onion-and-vinegar chicken soup of the north. CHIMOLE / relleno negro, black with burnt chiles. SALBUTES, panades, garnaches, tamales and dukunu. CONCH FRITTERS, ceviche and lobster from the reef. And CHOCOLATE from Toledo.
