Cooking in Haiti

This is some great tasting Haitian food you are looking at right here.

Diri shela kole ak pwa, How do you translate that in English? Shela rice and beans? LOL

Banan peze (Fried Plantains)

Sos viann ak yon bon salad kreyol (Some chicken sauce and a delicious creole style salad)

This is some delicious organic Haitian food right here.

En Haiti, fèy saa rele Lyann Panier (Lyann Panyen of Liane Panier)... Lakay mwen, nou mete lyann panye nan soup pen, nan mayi moulen ak nan diri les matin... Nou konn fe frikase ak li tou pou manje ak diri blan.

To my Haitians in the diaspora... What is "Lyann Panye" (Lyann Panyen) in ENGLISH?

Le yon moun gen feblès oswa lè-w malad kouche, yo fè yon ti soup ak lyann panier pou-w bwe pou remonte-w...

Many Haitians use these tasty vegetables to spice up their foods everyday: Poireau (leek), Persil (parsley), and tomate (tomato).

I my house, I stay way from all the artificial flavorings that are often loaded with sodium and use natural spices and herbs to cook delicious all natural Haitian food.

All my life, I've seen the Haitian women in my house mash up poireau (leek), with garlic and other spices in their "pilon" to use as natural seasoning when cooking but I never bothered to know what it was good for besides the flavor it adds to the food we eat.

There is no denying, Griot (spiced, marinated cubes of pork) with rice and beans, is a national dish in Haiti... But it looks darn good on the New York Times web site... LOL...

Read this Haitian Flag Day article from the New York Times:

Look at this photo... In Haiti it is easy to dehydrate corn: Just put it in the sun! lol...

Dried corn from my little Haitian farm cut ahead of hurricane Maria.

Removing the corn kernels from the cob is called "grennen mayi" in Haiti.

After you remove the corn kernels from the cob the next step is "Moulin Mayi" grinding the corn to turn in into Haitian cornmeal (Mais Moulin)

Look at this photo... In Haiti this is called "Sanble Dife," the process of starting a charcoal wood fire.

The metal piece holding the charcoal is called a "Recho".

Charcoal as Cooking fuel: Wikipedia says "Prior to the industrial revolution charcoal was occasionally used as a cooking fuel." I guess the industrial revolution has not yet arrived in Haiti because charcoal is still the main cooking fuel in the country.

Gade photo saa... Yo bay demoiselle la bouyi yon manyok, li BOULE manyok la, li fè Manioc au Gratin... LOL...

Menm yon manyon moun nan pa ka bouyi epi li bezwen yon bon gason.
