Zoranj su: sour oranges also known as bitter oranges in English, key ingredient in Haiti\u2019s cuisine.<\/h3>\n

The high acidity of sour oranges makes them a great partner in prepping, marinating and cooking meats and seafood.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of a few ways they find themselves in our cooking. Please, feel free to comment should you like to add more to this list.<\/p>\n

In Haiti, we use sour oranges to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    \u201cCleanse\u201d and tenderize our meat and fish.<\/h5>\n

    We rub them with the fruit before adding any seasoning.<\/p>\n

    \"Sour<\/li>\n

  2. \n
    Remove the strong smell from chicken.<\/h5>\n

    The process is the same as the cleansing but it is definitely worthy of a separate mention. In Haiti, we feel strongly about the smell of our chicken, and are convinced they deserve a special treatment.<\/li>\n

  3. \n
    Cook our griot (fried pork).<\/h5>\n

    This renowned dish is cooked in sour orange juice, salt, thyme and piment bouc before being fried. (I promise to share a proper recipe soon)<\/p>\n

    \"In<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
    Prepare our marinades.<\/h5>\n

    Sour oranges are a great substitute for vinegar and lime. Make sure to use them sparingly, however. Their acidity level is high.<\/li>\n

  5. \n
    Prepare a hot sauce<\/h5>\n

    You will find an amazing sour orange infused hot sauce<\/a> recipe right on this blog.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Add them to your turkey brine<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n
      Use them to brighten your shallots<\/a><\/h5>\n

      In just a few minutes, sour oranges can enhance your shallots’ color.<\/p>\n
