what is in the Haitian Marinade referred to in the recipe?

Hi Laura, I’m not sure, but my guess is it’s Epis. I know that’s a basic seasoning used in most Haitian dishes.

I just found out about this website by searching for the red beans & rice receipe. I love the fried pork, I’ve been doing it for over 20 years. I’m a little confused in the description, it says roasted slowly but in the cooking it says boiled. I have a question, when boiling the pork, do you dump the marinade in then cover with water or strain the marinade then cover with water? I’ve been straining the marinade, but recently, I’ve just skipped the boiling part & just fry it at a low temp for a while. It works quite well. I look forward to trying some of the receipts here.

I never heard. If sour orange ?

Cheryl, sour orange is an orange that is as sour as a lemon, but smells and tastes like a tangerine. You can find sour orange marinade in Latina groceries, but I haven’t been able to find the fresh fruit. The sour orange marinade is used to cook fish in Latina recipes and isn’t the same as the Haitian.
