What it is

The herb base: epis — Haiti's green seasoning of parsley, scallions, thyme, bell peppers, garlic, chiles and sour orange, pounded or blended and used to start nearly every dish — the flavour foundation of the Haitian kitchen. Ingredients: parsley, scallions, thyme, green and red peppers, garlic, scotch bonnet, onions, oil, vinegar or sour orange, salt, cloves (a whisper). Recipe: 1) Blend all to a coarse paste. 2) Store in jars (it keeps a week, or freeze). 3) Use as marinade and soup base. 4) Every cook's version differs slightly — that is the point. Serve: as the start of griot, soups and stews. Flavor: green, garlicky, bright fire. History: epis is the Afro-Caribbean green seasoning in Haiti's French-Creole accent. See also: Griot, Soup Joumou.
