Pikliz, or Haitian pickled cabbage, is a flavor-packed condiment, made with lots of shredded vegetables, warm spices, and a bit of heat brought to you by the Caribbean's favorite chili, the scotch bonnet. The pikliz is a wonderful fat-free topping to add and help brighten up stewed meats, or served as a relish alongside grilled fish. It makes a terrific topping for just about any kind of taco.
