Pikliz is a spicy, tangy condiment made primarily from pickled cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and Scotch bonnet peppers, seasoned with vinegar and spices. It adds a burst of flavor to Haitian dishes, particularly fried foods like griot (fried pork) and fried plantains, yum!
Pikliz is often made in large batches and stored in jars, allowing it to be preserved for extended periods. Storing food is especially important for Haitians as they are often faced with food insecurity. We believe no child should go hungry. Our program in Haiti served over 10,000 meals to children in need last year.
We hope you enjoy this delicious Haitian staple as much as we do and that it connects you in a deeper way with our extended Haitian family.
