Pikliz

Haiti

Haiti's most essential condiment. Pikliz is to Haiti what hot sauce is to Louisiana. Served with griot, fried plantain and every Haitian meal.

Haitian fiery pickled vegetables — julienned cabbage, carrots and Scotch bonnet in white vinegar. Haiti's universal condiment, served with everything.
