  • Yummy is correct! Nothing works better with fritay than a good spicy pikliz. Mm mmm good!

  • Hello Annick j’ai deux questions : ça se conserve jusqu’à combien de temps ? je suppose que si on veut le conserver il le couvrir totalement de vinaigre ?

    Yummy! I love pikliz. This is a great recipe. Not many people like the taste of vinegar so a more natural substitute that taste even better would be sour orange juice (sold in Goya bottle if you reside in the US) and lemon juice, Or just the good ol’ Haiti Zoranj su lakay! I personally love to blend my lemon juice, salt, peper, and other seasonings like maggie, with a little vinegar, and a whole onion, and pour the mix on my cabbage and carrots. I also heat up a little castor oil or vegetable oil and pour the hot mix on the cabbage just to break it down (pou kraze chou a). of course with the natural ingredients added you would need to refrigerate the pikliz. Enjoy!
