Pikliz – A Spicy Haitian Vinegar Slaw

January 29, 2015 By

 

pikliz - vertPikliz is a fiery condiment made from cabbage, vegetables and habanero chilies pickled in vinegar. Habanero chilies are the key ingredient – without them, you don’t have pikliz! Use the vegetables as a condiment on sandwiches or along side roasted meats – or as I did with this incredible Caribbean Pulled Pork that I made for the Bull Outdoor Products Grill For Good event. I even used the vinegar from the pikliz in the spicy cole slaw that was served that evening!

Pikliz has no sugar and is therefore very tart. If it is too piquant for your taste, simply stir a tablespoon or two of honey into the vinegar before adding it to the vegetables.

Note: This recipe is a variation on the one that I served. I have used a shortcut here by using prepared cole slaw mix instead of shedding the cabbage, but by all means, shred away if you’d rather! 🙂pikliz text

habanero chilies

*Habanero or Scotch bonnet peppers are one of the hotter varieties of chilies and while it is actually the seeds and the veins that cause all the heat, the oils in the peppers can irritate your skin. If you have sensitive or easily irritated skin, always wear rubber gloves when seeding and chopping hot peppers.
