Wabul
🍌
Photo coming soon
The dish is traditionally mashed by hand in a wooden trough, a tool passed down through Creole and Garifuna coastal kitchens.
Ripe plantains or breadfruit are boiled and mashed together with warm coconut milk into a smooth, slightly sweet porridge. Coastal communities around Bluefields and Pearl Lagoon serve it for breakfast, often ladled from a shared pot at family food stalls.
Why it's made this way: Wabul comes from the Garifuna and Creole communities settled along Nicaragua's southern Caribbean coast, part of the same coconut-based cooking distinct from the rest of the country.
