The most common condiment you will find in Haiti is peanut butter. Haitian peanut butter looks very similar to American peanut butter with the exception of one characteristic, it’s very spicy. Once you try Haitian peanut butter all other peanut butters will be very bland. The process for making the peanut butter in Haiti is very labor intensive and requires a significant amount of time. Typically the peanuts are peeled, roasted, and then ground manually. Here is a simple recipe without all the hard work.
