Hudut with Sere

Hudut with Sere, often simply called “Hudut” is one of the most popular Garifuna dishes. “Hudut” is actually the term for the mashed green and ripe plantain, and “sere” refers to the coconut fish stew that it is served with. The hudut is sometimes served with other stews or other meats, but the coconut and fish is the most popular.

There is a similar dish called “tapado” that is popular in the Guatemelan Garifuna town of Livingston, which includes more seafood such as shrimp and shellfish.

Below is a typical Belizean recipe for hudut with sere. You can experience this delicious meal if you sign-up for one of our Half- or Whole-Day Packages and take part in a cooking lesson or simply enjoy the meal.

Hudut with Sere

Season the cleaned fish with salt and pepper and set aside

Heat up coconut oil in a pot and sautee onions and garlic with salt and pepper for a few minutes.

Stir and add fish.

Allow to heat up and keep stirring the coconut milk to stop it curdling, but avoid stirring the fish and breaking it up.

Continue to stir the milk, adding the okra about 5 minutes before the fish is cooked.
