- Опубліковано 30 гру 2019
- Learn exactly how to make haitian epis, the haitian version of green seasoning. My husband’s aunt came through with some guidance and here you have an authentic recipe complete with a tutorial showing you step by step how to make this delicious seasoning. Similar to sofrito, this haitian seasoning can be used for meat, poultry, and fish. You’ll need:
1 large green pepper
1 large red pepper
2 onions
1/2 a bushel of parsley
1/2 a bushel of cilantro
4 stalks of scallion
1 head of garlic
2 chicken bouillon
1 scotch bonnet pepper
1 tbsp all purpose seasoning
2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
150 mL of water, or a small mason jar of water
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
****NOTE: Many are trying the recipe and loving it but for some, depending on what blender they use it’s coming out runny. Omit the water. You really don’t need it!

Just married a Haitian man and my mother in law came over from Haiti (we live in DR) and gave us a huge thing of epis. We out now. This recipe about to save my marriage. 🙌🏾😂
I just married a haitian man also. I'm on here trying to learn how to cook stuff he will enjoy lol
I love this💞
I know those men are troublesome…😂 be safe ladies
😂
😂
You can freeze the epis. When my mother used to visit she would make large batches of it for me i would just freeze it into cubes then bag it. Ready for cooking whenever i needed it.
I never thought of cubes that is like the perfect serving size
Asslam o Alaikum My dear you prepare very nice yummy beautiful recipe 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹 Masha Allah
That’s a really good idea to freeze it into cubes. Thanks to your mom, and you for sharing ❤️
Such a great idea. When you are ready to use the cubes for meat tho, how do you thaw it fast?
That's exactly how I do mine! 😊❤❤❤
I'm black and white but my husband is puerto rican and columbian so I learned to cook spanish style and hearing him say MMM this shiiii goooood means everything 😂😎🥰
What does that have to do with this video? 🤔
My husband is Haitian and I made this and season the chicken and beans. Served it with yellow rice and he enjoyed every bite. Thank you!
Mmmm that sounds good 👌😍 will try I love epis‼️
That’s so cute of you to cook your husband national dishes for him
I gotta do the same thing I try to make soul food but his favorite is Haitian food so I gotta do it lol
You have definitely gained a subscriber. I'm American born and raised in USA and my husband is Haitian. And it has really discouraged me because I can barely cook American food let alone Haitian. So hopefully watching you would help 🤞🏾
Thank you so much!
I noticed bushel instead of bunch. I’m hoping everyone knows that you meant bunch 😅
Adobo
Onions
Garlic
Thyme
Green onion
Red green pepper
Parsley
Silantro
Papper
Olive oil
Seasoning
Thanks
Cilantro
Ouuuu that’s similar to the Puerto Rican/Dominican ‘Sofrito’ 😋😋😋 adds sooo much flavor
Yes you are right and i looove it!
Yes it is, Saint Dominguez is to blame, we’re all the same 😍🖤
If the same why they taste diferent ? I don t know about porto Rico but Dominican food don t taste good.
@@peterjohnenelsonbien-aime8486 😭🤣
@@CloudedWalker seriously bro.
Oh my goodness! I saw this on Instagram about a year ago, and the person was african, so I didn't know it was called epis! I've been making them and putting them in icecube trays and freezing them. Then pop them out when frozen and put them back in the freezer inside freezer bags. I use it for boiling my meat, chicken etc, in my stews, bolognese, and my stir-fry. There's a difference! My family can't get enough of my food when I add the epis. Totally a game changer ❤❤❤❤
Love it....we Ethiopians do the same way.
I added epis to my Jamaican Chicken Wings; it's on my YT channel. Your YT channel was one of the channels I learned how to make epis from.
Epis is what we called green seasoning in JA.
Girl I just made my semi version based on ingredients I have on hand omg my chicken sauce is so good
Thank You SOOOO much. I’m Haitian but live in Phoenix and trying to bring a little bit of Home AND South Florida to the West Coast
If you don't have lemon juice you can always use vinegar instead to keep the seasoning flavors intact.
How much and can it be either white or acv?
@@loisdaniels6778 white vinegar
I have never seen lemons grown in Haïti. Depending on what we are cooking, we use limes or sour oranges.
I made it it was fantastic. Will be making it regularly and using it on everything. Thank you for sharing
Delicious! My husband is Haitian too;) I love Haitian food!
This looks good. Definitely similar to what my mom makes. I came here from IG. Love your channel. Just wanted to tell you the thyme was missing from the ingredients list in the description box.
I found you on Instagram!! Great videos!! New Subscriber 💙💙💙
Yass! Love this. Thanks for the lemon juice recommendation!
People are hella weird with these comments. But, anyway, glad I found your channel. Looks good!
I just made this and its fantastic. Thanks Tara for telling me about this channel. Mine is watery also. Next time I won't add the water
it was delicious!!!! I used it to marinate my chicken. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Just made this recipe....WOW!!!! Thank you so much.
Enjoy!
Can you make a video showing the pickled red onions? It looked amazing in the Instagram pic. I just subscribed 😀!
the thyme is not included in your written recipe. but just made this earlier for my griot. added celery. it was really good!
I added thyme. If I did not my Haitian friend would disown me.
Thank you so much! I add celery and fresh basil to mine
I follow your recipe @thatnursecancook and I love ❤ your Epis to season my foods. I freeze mines, it freezes 🥶 very well.
Never heard of any haitian dishes before today so thank you and one I will try too 💜
My husband is from Haiti as well.
We have this in Jamaica also
I made this today. I made it a bit more chunky lol. I have chicken marinated in some now. I will check back with you.
How did the chicken came out after preparing it?
Thank you so much for showing us this. Will definitely be making it
EPIS looks good and easy, eventhough I've never heard of IT BEFORE .
takin marital and cookin notes hahaha .. 🙏🏾👌🏾👌🏾
My new best friend looks soooo yummy can’t wait to make up a batch
Some use vinegar to preserve it.
Awesome. I'm going to make some tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.
You can also use a bit of citric acid to help the refrigerator shelf life
You can also use vinegar to preserve I use that and some lemon juice. I Love your recipes by the way ❤
Yes! I use lemon juice in my epis and oil, but the last two times I've used just a small amount citric acid which works the same to preserve the seasoning.
That's good to know as well
What kinda vinegar please?
@@maureenliameed7826 I use regular white vinegar 😊
Teresa C thanks 💋
Definitely gonna give this a try
Looks delicious!! Soup joumou! My favorite!!!
Nice you did a really great job!
Thanks!
I finally made it. OMG...I love it.
Made this tonight, so good! 🙌🏽
Happy New Year Hun🎉😘God Bless Xxx
Happy New Year Jody!! Many blessing!
I did it .. Thank you so much for sharing❤❤
I made the epis and it is delicious. When it's frying in the pan with oil, the aroma is so good and can be smelled outside. I followed the recipe and made 32 oz. Thank you....question:when I go to a Haitian restaurant i get fried green plantains and there is a dip that comes with it. What is the recipe for the dip?
Are you talking about Pikliz? .. it’s a spicy “coleslaw” that is vinegar based
Oh my word that looks so good.
Is freezing it ok in Zip Freezer bags...
Hi 😊I put too much leek in my epis, how do I fix the strong bitter taste?
You can keep it fresh by putting it in the back of your refrigerator.....
Hello! I made your recipe and posted it on my IG page, I froze half of it and put the rest in the fridge. Also, I used lime instead of lemon is that ok? Thank you for all of the yummy recipes, I'm purchasing your book now. Sending Blessings from my table to yours.
Yep lemon or lime juice, even vinegar works
How many thyme leave you put in there?
Sakpaze nap boule. Ti gason no Aysien, but str8 OUTTA Flatbush Brooklyn @ NewKirk Avenue! #LittleHaiti
Thank you for this recipe
Awesome! How long does it keep in the fridge in a sealed glass jar?
Can you put it in ice trays in the freezer to preserve it longer?
Yes, you can.
@@TheLadyCheriNoir thank you for your response.
Hi can you make a video on how to make pepper sauce!
Update on this recepie add celery 🥰
Its not necessarily the same for everyone but it depends on preference.
was fresh thyme optional? I see that it was not included in the original ingredients...
Thank you!! Love this!!
Asslam o Alaikum My dear you prepare very nice yummy beautiful recipe 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹 Masha Allah
Thank you I will try this
Looks good sister!
Can't wait to try this ❤️ If scorch bonnet pepper is not available what's the next best type of pepper to use to get use to the exact Flav or this recipe? Plz ask one of the aunties 😊. I think we have habanero in my area but I would like to sub whatever is best.
You can use habanero or pimento peppers!
Haitian food is 2nd to Jamaican, really good.
Hello, is the chicken bouillon Maggie?
My question too
Into an icecube tray and put frozen green cubes away in the freezer 💚
Gitto lemon juice! BK terminal market 👍🏾
It appears that auto correct bit into your recipe. Bunch has become "bushel", we old farmers know better - that would be pounds ( kilos) of herbs.
Can dry thyme be used in replacement of the fresh?
I love this but I'm going to add ginger and all spice to mine!
That sounds really good!!
Would it be possible to pressure can this seasoning adobo
You didn't mention the time in the description is that optional??
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How much thyme should I use?
Hello, I love this recipe. Am I able to use scotch bonnet pepper sauce since I can't find fresh scotch bonnet pepper?
Yea, you can use the scotch bonnet sauce just not too much. The acidity in the sauce will kill the dish 😀
If anyone knows how long it will last if i keep a jar of it in the fridge, let me know please. Edit: 4:10 answers that.
Sofrito!
Basically!! Jamaicans call their version green spice.
I just found this video and i tried this recipe…. It came out good but tangy…. Is that because of the cilantro?
What is it suppose to taste like ?
Look for other Epis recipes. The lemon is what you may be tasting. Use vinegar, Badia Mojo, Sour orange Badia, or no citric acid or cilantro at all & freeze in ice cubes to preserve.
How long would it last in fridge
Someone in a video put whole Cloves and blended it all. She used garlic Cloves too .
She most likely used whole cloves to give it a smoky after taste
Is canning this a option?
Hi, you didn't include how much thyme in the description :)
Can I use the magic bullet?
Can I use some Maggi polo for the chicken bullion cubes?
I’m Haitian and yes you can use any bullion cubes. Chicken or beef or the veggie bouillon cubes. She did an amazing job. My mom use to make it this way too. Or she’ll go the real old school way and make it in a wooden pestle ( pilon) that version is too time consuming but in Haiti they do it like that. Also you only do the pilon version if you’re making a small batch of épis
How much thyme? It's not listed in the caption
Love it but you forgot thyme in your ingredients list i had to go back to the grocery store lol 🫶🏽🥹
If you want it to last longer don’t add water
Is this the same Recipe as green seasoning
What do you use for All purpose and Chicken Seasoning? Do you make your own or use store bought?
I typically use Goya adobo as my go to all purpose seasoning 😀
I hope you meant 1/2 bunches of parsley and cilantro, not bushels???
Ok but what about washing the vegetables? Thats very important when cooking. ...
She already prepped the vegetables, meaning they have already been washed and diced. People should wash their vegetables prior to use whether or not it's shown in the tutorial.
You forgot to put thyme in the description of the video under the what you’ll need
Is this the same as recaito?
I definitely need to know now much tyme lol
I think it’s like around 10 to 15 sprigs.
I made this exact same recipe, but it was a bit runny. Could it be the blender (vitamix)? Should I use a food processor instead?
Next time omit the water. It could be the blender you used.
@@ThatNurseCanCook thank you! I see the water separated at the bottom of my mason jar anyway.
Food processor is the best option to make green seasoning. You don't add vinegar if you want to store it because the vinegar kills the flavor after a while.
The core should be removed from the thyme because is dangerous for your intestines. Use only the leaves of the thyme. Only extta virgin oil is recommended . Adding water is a big no no no no. You can freeze it for as long as you want to.
I am a professional cook and I would like to inform you about green seasoning if I may. . Water into the seasoning is a big no no no . Vinegar is also a big no no no because it kills the flavor of the seasoning .If you want to save it, only oil is recommended as liquid and You can freeze it for as long as you can my dear. Green seasoning is my middle name and I really know about it . Water is alright only for instant use. I am Haitian
@@pasteuredithzephyrzephyr4907 How long does this last when stored in the fridge
You forgot to mention the green onion Scalyen was cut up as well cause I was confused what to do with it when it wasn’t mentioned 😭😭
Good recipe just if u got the ninja use less water
Totally agree ❤️
So yeah…. I went to the store, and followed the the recipe list. Then got home, and realized… We’re is the THYME.
Me too. It wasn’t on the ingredients list that she posted. I just made some without it and it is still AMAZING 🤤.
