Hot Haitian Pikliz (pronounced “PEEK-leez”) are an unusual condiment to find on any American table, but for maker Blonde, they’re a household staple. As you ease your way into the cuisine, you’ll find that there are myriad ways to apply the tangy, spicy relish-slash-kraut, but the best ways tend to showcase those bold flavors with little else to cover them up. Here, the combination of brine oysters with a touch of vinegar-based heat is all it’ll take to convince you that The Craic and Blonde Hot Haitian Pikliz aren’t just for Haitian meals—they’re here to stay!
