Hummus Belizean-Style

Adapted from a recipe in the cookbook ‘Flavors of Belize’. Belize has a small Arab/Lebanese population and it has contributed to and influenced Belize’s melting pot cuisine. Black beans or garbanzo beans can replace the kidney beans if desired. Note: the food.com site does not recognize the ingredient ‘recado rojo’. You will need a half teaspoon of it for this recipe.

Belizean Traditional Beans and Rice

This is the way they do Beans and Rice in Belize. The recipe is from a native Belizean. It is a wonderful addition to Caribbean chicken and fish.

Bahamian Peas and Rice

Various versions of this dish are made throughout the Caribbean. You could easily make this a vegetarian dish by omitting the bacon. 1 teaspoon dried basil and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme may be substituted for the fresh herbs. From the Barbecue Bible.

Algerian Beef

Highly seasoned beef pairs with kidney beans and hominy in this Latin-inspired dish. Hominy is corn that has been soaked in lime or lye. The result is a versatile grain with a chewy texture and a very light, smoky-sour flavor.
