📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pikliz is the spicy pickle essential to the Haitian table: shredded cabbage, carrot, onion, and bell pepper are pickled in vinegar and lime juice with plenty of Scotch bonnet chilies. A great supporting player that cuts the richness of fried griot and bannann peze, it's kept in every household's fridge.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In the middle of a Haitian family table sits a glass jar packed with colorful vegetables, spooned onto plates of fried food as desired.
