SEASONING EPIS

"Epis" is a traditional Haitian seasoning blend that is essential in Haitian cuisine. It’s a mixture of fresh, aromatic ingredients used to add depth and flavor to a wide variety of dishes. The blend typically includes ingredients like garlic, onions, bell peppers, scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, parsley, and often a touch of citrus or sour orange. These ingredients are ground together into a paste or sauce and serve as a base for cooking meats, rice, soups, and stews.

Epis is not just a seasoning, but a cultural staple that reflects the heart of Haitian cooking. It's known for its bold, vibrant flavors and is often considered the foundation of many Haitian meals. Each family or cook may have their own variation, making it a personal and cherished recipe passed down through generations. Whether used as a marinade or added to the pot while cooking, epis enhances the flavor profile of dishes and embodies the rich culinary heritage of Haiti.
