Hudut is a Garifuna dish of mashed plantain served with fish simmered in a coconut milk broth called sere. The Garifuna people, descended from West Africans and Indigenous Caribs and Arawaks exiled to Central America's Caribbean coast in the 18th century, carried this cooking tradition into Belize and Honduras.
