If you like spicy food, this Haitian pikliz will give your taste buds a kick! This is a condiment that is accompanied with the popular Haitian dish called “griot” its just like your average coleslaw but very spicy. Of course, when you make it at home you can adjust the amount of chilies depending on the amount of heat you can handle. It also goes great with subs, hot-dogs, hamburgers, basically anything where you would add coleslaw.
Ingredients
- 3 Scotch Bonnet Pepper
- 2 cup cabbage grated
- 1 cup carrot grated

- 2 Tbsp white sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 cup white vinegar
Instructions
- Thinly slice all the ingredients.
- Place all the ingredients in an airtight jar, and fill with the white vinegar.

This sounds a little too spicy for me with the bonnet peppers. Do you have a suggestion for a less spicy option?
You can always remove seeds from the chili to make them milder, or use less. You can also use jalapenos if you want a much milder pikliz.
Hi, how long does this keep. Days, a week, more? I am looking forward to making this!
I keep mine easily one month.
I have been trying to find a recipe for the piklez since my mother in law passed away. Unfortunately she want one to teach cooking. Her comment was always to watch her. Well I had a general idea. But thanks so much for the recipe.
I am definitely trying this. I have 2 heads of cabbage I was wondering what I was going to make with them; now I know! Thanks for the recipe!
