    Chimole a delicious stew/soup is of Maya origin and very popular in Belize. It is made with a spice blend called black recado that adds a wonderful smoky flavor to the dish like nothing I have had before. You can find the black recado online or you can make it yourself. The pork meatballs are outstanding and sop up the broth with a homemade tortilla…. Excellent!
