Darasa refers to banana tamales, a well-known Belizean snack especially popular among local Garifuna population. The ingredients include peeled and grated green bananas, orange juice, lime juice, coconut milk, salt, pepper, and banana leaves for wrapping.
The ingredients are combined into a homogeneous mixture which is then placed in banana leaves. Once folded, the small packets are steamed or boiled in water until the mixture becomes firm. Before serving, it is recommended to let darasa cool for a few minutes.
