Simple Haitian Epis

[@jdanielleuc]

I LOVE YOU CHRIS!!! 🇭🇹 Chris going Zoe with the Epis & Griot! All we need is Banann Peze and Diri Djon Djon and you have a traditional Haitian meal! The mortar and pestle is called "Munsh Pilon" in kreyol 😊

[@caribbeanpot]

thx for the lesson (Munsh Pilon), kind words and support.

[@hailie_Selassie]

I guess that you meant MANCH PILON which is the superior part of the mortar, however the HCreole name for mortar is PILON.

[@apocMTL]

JDanielleuc Just Pilon.

[@buquerlinemalivert8261]

We does call it "PILON" in Haitian Creole 🇭🇹moun lakay

[@hailie_Selassie]

gon fi pi wo a ki di se MUSH PILON yo rele mortar la, anmwe map mouri!! Gade kouman moun yo ap defome ble lang mwen an.

[@shacheb]

Great epis recipe Chris! I'm not Haitian but married into the culture. I've been cooking more Haitian food in the past five years than I do Trinidadian. lol

[@cesarscuisine]

Nice!! That says a lot!! Respect!

[@emarzouka11]

The round wooden object is called a pilon and widely used in Haiti. It really takes some time consuming, as it crushes the spices into either chopped or paste, it releases a flavor that is genuine and way different from the blender.

[@nickeywilliams657]

You can use epis in all kinds of meat and sea food The only food you don't use it, is white rice . This is the first time I watch your video. Good work Chris !

[@isabelreyna7997]

To extend the shelf life you can fry it, this prevents spoiling. That is what I do. I am from the DR we cook almost the same way.

[@whitneyrenois4512]

Thanks !,❤

[@FemmedelaCaraibe]

the wooden tool we used is called Pilon

[@thejompi]

We also call it pilon in Puerto Rico. :D

[@FemmedelaCaraibe]

thejompi lol island people have so much in common it is funny

[@farahjoseph]

Your Epis came out really good! Good job Chris! Bon bagay net! ( good stuff)

[@lillianbalkum5975]

I love the way you explain the proper way to make Epis.

[@Sook995]

When I use onion, I pour all the epis into ice cube trays to store them in the freezer, I never keep epis in the refrigerator YES it will spoil if it's not use often.

[@nicolethelemaque1699]

I do use onion 🧅 in my spice and sauce! But we all do things differently in life. And sometimes, I use shallot also since they have different tastes! Amen 🙏! Thank you sharing because a lot of people do not know how to make food! Amen 🙏

[@royalkandiag6807]

For some time I've been hunting recipes for my food preps. I found a few good ones but the ingredients are seldom found here in Barbados.... Since finding your website, everything is literally in my reach. Thanks again man!

[@joisea9509]

You inspire me to cook.

[@lonelyprincessemagie7931]

The wooden mortar is called "Pilon" in Haitian creole dialect, and is called "mortier" (un mortier) in French. I am just now discovering all your videos about Haitian cooking and food. I love to try different foods from all over the world. Mesi bocou l-Merci beaucoup-thanks a bunch, for sharing your "cuisine" with us all.

[@sosochenel9869]

Hello Chris, I just found your channel, so far I like what I see. New subscriber...I'm from Haiti, this was a very helpful video.

[@veydap1379]

I love that you posted this! I love Haitian food

[@chazaqyahuyasharal348]

It's a must for the epis in Haitian food. Ayiti Nou La.

[@Thejournal-t7e]

Nice presentation. I'm with you on the Maggie cubes.

[@sheshell8165]

Sak Pase? It's called a PILON (Creole) and Pestle and Mortar (English)

[@aimeehylaris1313]

You’ve made my day, Chris.... am Haitian, and the pestle is called pilon in creole

[@carolynflowers4214]

Thank you on may way,out to pick-up the ingredients.also loving your plant,in the background beautiful.

[@trudyfarnum9552]

Thanks Chris, for the introduction into Haitian food.

[@mizzpoetrics]

OMG, I had totally missed this episode! Chris my man, you #ROCK!!! 😁 The Creole name for the Motar & Pestle is Pilon, very similar to the way Spanish speaking ppl in the Caribbean pronounce it. I like using the food processor or blender, but my mom is old school & makes hers fresh everytime she cooks using the Pilon. Hers is very simple, as well - scallion, garlic, cloves, black peppercorns, thyme, a bit of scotch bonnet or habanero & 1 bullion cube. My mama #Rocks - learned how to cook from her. 😊

[@fabiola925]

What?! Chris come through with the Haitian Epis!! 🌶👏🏾😊 🇭🇹

[@MirDesir]

Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely looking forward to more Haitian dishes. I just love people 🇭🇹

[@ketly9080]

We also use "epis" for making "diri kole" (rice and beans) not white rice though

[@islandkerilus7633]

ketly9080 Yes !! Use Epis when making spaghetti too

[@ketly9080]

Chef Land Land And all meats and seafood and marinad...the list goes on. But not white rice

[@islandkerilus7633]

ketly9080 yeah I never heard of it being used in white rice.

[@denisela3403]

Can one of you make it and do it and put it on y'all KZbin so I can subscribe please. Have mercy😩😩🙌🏽🙌🏽😍😍

[@tamingnappimess]

Chef Land Land you can use it for white rice too, fry just a little bit in your oil with garlic, green onions and than add your water it makes your white rice DELICIOUS !!!!!the kind you deff want the "gratin" from hahah YUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

[@turbolenza35]

Epis is the créole word for Épice, which means spice.

[@MarkSegree]

How long does it last in the fridge?

[@timbrusky1]

Love the video, great informal information. You show and speak down to each and every ingredient and step, like im there side by side with you, as you teach me. Keep up the good work..

[@danq.5140]

Such a nice colour, looks so fresh.

[@darleneachille491]

Nice Video!!! I love how you show a lot of respect and encouragement to the Haitian People. GOD Bless You

[@clenasmavanklompenberg6524]

This is the easy way to make epis in my opinion

[@ElikyaNgoma]

You're actually doing it the right way by not putting salt and bullion cubes in the epis. We typically add that later. We do add onions though, but I get why you didn't. Also it's called Pilon, pronounced pee-lon (the o is the o in long, just without the g)

[@ladonnaadmettre7924]

Great job Chris👏🏽👏🏾🇭🇹🇭🇹👍🏾👍🏾

[@rosemarlydumay5359]

Merci pou video a bon travay my dear, please ki mak blender a?

[@Optanie]

Amazing. I do not use celery but I will try it next time.

[@aaudain1]

Great job, thanks for shearing, very helpful tips

[@elkemm1]

Could I use a jalapeño pepper instead scotch bonnet pepper?

[@barbaracooper8542]

Thank you Chris for sharing love you God richly bless you 🙏🏽

[@ShaunaRose1111]

You're the best! I'm definitely going to make this! I just make the simple one but this looks so much more flavorful!

[@cadiach7606]

I've learned so much from watching your videos 😀

[@jviarruel]

I never knew how the hatian did their seasoning.. ty Chris I certainly will try it this weekend. also did you know the hatian do their fry green plantians with hot peppers? the Latinos call it toastones... it was amazing!

[@46FOXFIRE]

[@MimiDyl]

How long can it be left in the fridge ?

[@nickeywilliams657]

All your ingredients are right. Maggi cubes are not part of it . leave it organic the salt is optional like you said you put your salt separate this is the way I like it. Very good!

[@Kalifa_TriniMom]

this looks like a mango chutney yummmmy

[@quindelljones157]

Can I add pimento seeds?

[@Emajonite]

We call it Pilon... the thing you mash it up with 🇭🇹 my mom every time she in town has to make my epis and I leave it in the freezer

The wood grinder is called a pilon in Haiti.

[@sabinelerouge8681]

Yummy 😋 👍🏽 our epice is life

[@maxinehatcher7910]

Definitely trying this!

[@jodymcintosh1757]

So is this like a green seasoning? Can it be used on any type of meat, maybe even.rice and peas?

[@KimDoucetFitness]

Jody Mcintosh yes pretty much green seasoning, but the Haitians call it epis aka Epice -spice. Every Caribbean island have their version and it’s all up to you preference. I personally hate sweet peppers so I leave them out.

[@myriamdhaiti2935]

YYYYYYAAAASSSSSSSSSDSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I LOVE YOU

[@5pctLowBattery]

On the website which list the ingredients... you didn't list "Garlic". I made it yesterday, following the list which didn't include garlic. Does that make a difference?

[@IbrahimAli-dy3zg]

you're doing a good job my man

[@anq7439]

is this an alternative to our green seasoning?

[@PossumPityParty]

I'm making this asap. Looks so good!!! 😋

[@stephanierosario5615]

[@DandyLioness83]

I will be trying this!

[@DC-js3ro]

I love that you did not use the bouillon cubes! I do not think it's necessary. I've also never added onions.

[@adonai71100]

How long does it keep for?

[@MsKless073]

Trini Hansen You can scoop it into an ice cube tray and freeze it. just use individual cubes whenever you use to cook. I wouldn't keep in fridge longer than a week, especially if not adding salt.

[@chandramitchell191]

[@donnapbrice]

Hi Chris...looks like Haiti's answer to Trinidad green seasoning!

[@Dungeon_Synth_Enjoyer]
