Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Meatapalooza has begun!
What is this "Pikliz" of which you speak?you know I dont eat pork without pikliz
Just made up a fresh batch 4 days ago... wont reach its peak for heat for another 2-3 days.. but its still got a bit of warmth to it
meats ready in about 7 more hours.. its only a 3 hour drive from your place I believe![]()
Oh yeah, I am making this for sure. Sounds kinda like a Haitian version of kimchi. Thanks Dave.simply AWESOME haitian "slaw" type dish that I had our housekeeper teach me how to make when I was living in Port Au Prince for a little while...
Super flavorful.. can be super hot (make it to your taste).. usually eat it with meats "coney style"... goes especially well with pork.. but also kicks ass on everything else from beef to morning eggs, etc..
My recipie (there are several varieties.. and mine has changed up a bit over the years as well)... is:
1/2 red cabbage (traditional pikliz uses green cabbage).. chopped into thin strips (like coleslaw)..
1 table spoon black peppercorns
1/2 tea spoon kosher sea salt
2 carrots finely chopped
1/2 red onion finely chopped
6 scotch bonnet peppers.. seeds left in.. finely chopped (you can add or take away peppers.. and/or seed them if you want more/less "heat")...
2 cloves of garlic.. finely chopped..
mix well.. then put all of this in a large jar or container.. then fill with vinegar.. until all ingredients are covered...
seal it up.. throw it in the fridge.. and wait 3-4 days before serving...
YUM!
