Pikliz
Pikliz is a vibrant Haitian condiment that brings a spicy, tangy kick to any dish it accompanies. This colorful slaw combines shredded cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and onions, all marinated in a fiery mixture of vinegar, lime juice, and Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers.
To make pikliz, vegetables are thinly sliced or shredded, often with a mandoline, then packed in jars with the acidic mixture and allowed to pickle for at least 24 hours, although many Haitians let it ferment for days or even weeks, developing deeper flavors. The result is a crunchy, intensely flavorful condiment that's essential to Haitian cuisine, perfectly complementing rich dishes like griot (fried pork) or fried plantains.

About Top Chef ™
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
