Epis can be used to marinate beef, poultry, seafood, etc. This blend of fresh herbs can be adjusted to your taste.

If you're Haitian and/or familiar with Haitian culture, this is one of the most memorable and cherished dishes. This soup is prepared for New Year’s Day.

I like to add a hint of good olive oil and serve with either toasted, sliced baguette, country bread, or for a healthier option, vegetables such as baby carrots, cucumber sticks, or endive leaves (my favorite).

I prefer making the pate brisée dough the day before and storing it in the fridge. You can also use ready-made pie dough or puff pastry, but you will not regret making your own. It's fun, and you will have earnt bragging rights.
