Pikliz is a spicy, tangy condiment made primarily from pickled cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and Scotch bonnet peppers, seasoned with vinegar and spices. It adds a burst of flavor to Haitian dishes, particularly fried foods like griot (fried pork) and fried plantains, yum!
Pikliz is often made in large batches and stored in jars, allowing it to be preserved for extended periods. Storing food is especially important for Haitians as they are often faced with food insecurity. We believe no child should go hungry. Our program in Haiti served over 10,000 meals to children in need last year.
We hope you enjoy this delicious Haitian staple as much as we do and that it connects you in a deeper way with our extended Haitian family.

Oltin and his twin brother, Olti, live with their parents and little brother in a small borrowed third floor apartment in a newer, safe neighborhood. The only drawback is that they live close to a bus station and there is a lot of traffic. The owner of the apartment lives abroad and is allowing the family to stay there.
Oltin's parents are both employed. His mother is a hairdresser and his father works as a driver but they still do not make enough to provide for all of the family's needs. Oltin's grandparents recently passed away which has made things more difficult as they were helping the family financially and also helping to watch the boys while their parents were working.
