Pikliz

This is a Haitian condiment/dipping sauce that packs a fiery punch.

First, the vegetables and spices are layered (cabbage, peppers, cloves, peppercorns, thyme, onions, peas, habañeros, garlic, french beans, carrots) with sea salt thrown in every few layers.

The dish cannot be made without habañeros so if you can't find any, don't bother to make it.

Over this is poured boiling vinegar and the whole lot sealed. It can be refrigerated and will last a long time.

(Oh, and the boiling vinegar stinks up the house but the pickle is worth it!)
