Best Garnaches - Belizean Recipes

Garnaches is one of the best foods Belizeans are accustomed to. They are good for snacking or for dinner. This recipe is very easy to make. In Belize, grated Edam cheese is also part of the recipe. This cheese is very difficult to find anywhere else since it's imported from Holland to Belize. I will usually leave it out of the recipe or subsitute it with a shredded Sharp Colby cheese.

Trying foods from various ethnic cultures is one of the most exciting things in life. If you have never tried drinks and foods from Belize, then you are missing out on good food. Belize has a number of great drinks and dishes that are native to the Mestizos. The menu is a combination of various cultures mixed with the Belizean spices.

1/2 cup vinegar

1 cup refried beans
1 medium carrot (grated)

Mash cooked beans. Season and fry (Set aside)
Grate Cheese (set Aside)
Grate Carrot. (Use the second largest side of grater)
Shred Cabbage. Mix cabbage and carrots in a small bowl with vinegar.
