Spicy Mala-Inspired Pikliz

Awaken your senses to the bright, fiery flavor that is Haitian Pikliz (pronounced “pick-lees”). A combination of pickled cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and Scotch bonnet peppers, our version here is seasoned with garlic and three types of peppercorns – Timut, black, and pink. Enjoy this crunchy condiment on its own, with our Crispy Mala Chicken Sandwich, or with meats or fried foods to balance out their characteristic richness.
