Pikliz image

In Haiti, this spicy cabbage, carrot and chile-laced pickle, which is pronounced pick-lees, is traditionally served with rich meats and fried foods, like the pork dish griot. Its bright, fiery tang mitigates the heaviness and balances out the flavors. It's also a wonderful condiment to serve with rice and beans, noodles, roast chicken, or other gently flavored dishes that need a little zipping up. Like most pickles, it will keep for weeks in the refrigerator. Make sure to take care when handling the chiles; gloves are recommended here.

I'm not usually a big fan of spicy food, but this pikliz is surprisingly mild. The sweetness of the carrots and cabbage really balances out the heat of the peppers. I could definitely see myself eating this on a regular basis.
