When I want that true Haitian kick, I grab this Pikliz Spice Mix. It delivers the tangy, spicy heat that wakes up anything from griot and fried plantains to simple roasted veggies.

A little goes a long way, so you can sprinkle it lightly for gentle warmth or pile it on if you like things bold. It cuts through rich, fried foods in the best way, adding brightness and fire in every bite. Keep it close to the table-you will start putting it on everything.
