Dish 1: Haitian Rice and Beans (Diri ak Pwa)This staple dish consists of fluffy white rice cooked in a flavorful broth accompanied by tender kidney beans simmered with pork, sausage, or saltfish. The meat typically used is pork or saltfish, making this dish not suitable for strict vegetarians. The savory aroma and hearty texture make it a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
Dish 2: Haitian GriyoGriyo, similar to fried chicken, is made by marinating pieces of chicken or pork in a mixture of garlic, spices, and lemon juice before frying them to golden perfection. This crispy, flavorful meal is often served alongside rice and beans or plantains, and can be found at street vendors and restaurants across the country. Although not inherently spicy, griyo's flavor profile can vary depending on the choice of spices in the marinade.
Dish 3: Haitian Plantain Soup (Soup Joumou)A comforting bowl of soup joumou features ripe plantains that have been peeled, cubed, and slow-cooked until tender in a rich, flavorful broth. Often seasoned with garlic, thyme, and other herbs, this vegetarian soup can be enjoyed as a light lunch or dinner. Although not typically served with meat, some variations may include bits of chicken or pork. The warm, savory aroma creates an inviting atmosphere, perfect for a chilly day or a rainy evening in Haiti.Historical Appearance
