- 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!

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? 🤔
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! 😊❤❤❤
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‼️
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 😅
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
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 ❤❤❤❤
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
Adobo

Garlic
Thyme

Red green pepper

Silantro

Thanks

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.
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.
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
I found you on Instagram!! Great videos!! New Subscriber 💙💙💙
In Guyana we use broad leaft thyme, fine leaf thyme, onions, scallons, basil and garlic
it was delicious!!!! I used it to marinate my chicken. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
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?
Yass! Love this. Thanks for the lemon juice recommendation!
Just made this recipe....WOW!!!! Thank you so much.
Enjoy!
My husband is from Haiti as well.
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
😂
😂
Can you make a video showing the pickled red onions? It looked amazing in the Instagram pic. I just subscribed 😀!
Thank you so much! I add celery and fresh basil to mine
Never heard of any haitian dishes before today so thank you and one I will try too 💜
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 💋
Some use vinegar to preserve it.
takin marital and cookin notes hahaha .. 🙏🏾👌🏾👌🏾
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
Definitely gonna give this a try
Is freezing it ok in Zip Freezer bags...
I finally made it. OMG...I love it.
Looks delicious!! Soup joumou! My favorite!!!
Sakpaze nap boule. Ti gason no Aysien, but str8 OUTTA Flatbush Brooklyn @ NewKirk Avenue! #LittleHaiti
You can keep it fresh by putting it in the back of your refrigerator.....
I did it .. Thank you so much for sharing❤❤
Can you put it in ice trays in the freezer to preserve it longer?
Yes, you can.
@@TheLadyCheriNoir thank you for your response.
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
Awesome! How long does it keep in the fridge in a sealed glass jar?
How many thyme leave you put in there?
Oh my word that looks so good.
Its not necessarily the same for everyone but it depends on preference.
Hello, is the chicken bouillon Maggie?
My question too
Into an icecube tray and put frozen green cubes away in the freezer 💚
Thank you I will try this
Can dry thyme be used in replacement of the fresh?
Thank you!! Love this!!
Asslam o Alaikum My dear you prepare very nice yummy beautiful recipe 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹 Masha Allah
You didn't mention the time in the description is that optional??
I love this but I'm going to add ginger and all spice to mine!
That sounds really good!!
Looks good sister!
Hi, you didn't include how much thyme in the description :)
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!
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
How much thyme should I use?
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 😭😭
Haitian food is 2nd to Jamaican, really good.
Can I use the magic bullet?
How long would it last in fridge
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.
Is canning this a option?
How much thyme? It's not listed in the caption
Is this the same Recipe as green seasoning
If you want it to last longer don’t add water
Love it but you forgot thyme in your ingredients list i had to go back to the grocery store lol 🫶🏽🥹
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good recipe just if u got the ninja use less water
Totally agree ❤️
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.
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 😀
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.
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
This is kind of like Brazilian chimichurri but with hear.
I add cloves
There is no thyme in the recipe ingredients..
I ordered an ebook but dont it I need the book or a refund
So basically I can just get some green Sofrito in add a scotch bonnet pepper in it
I see how you really feel about your husband’s aunt @0:51 😂😂😂😂
No thyme listed
Looks good but that’s not a scotch bonnet pepper.
Let his family make the Epis in front of you and make sure you learn how to do it
When pronouncing "epis" ... the accent is on the 2nd syllable, not the 1st.

Pale creole se pou haitian ouap fet epice la
No cilantro
Similar to jerk marinade😲😃👍👀
Yes it goes in just about every kind of rice except white rice. It what makes it "haitian" rice. For white rice we just sautee a scallion or some onion and then add water rice and salt. No epis. Epis is in everything haitian to be honest
You’re teaching me so much, thank you!
No bouillon which is full of msg!
How much lemon juice you put in it?
Table spoon
I will be stingy and keep all the epis
I love your recipe but please note that acording to the oxford english dictionary a bushel is: a measure of capacity equal to 8 gallons (equivalent to 36.4 litres), used for corn, fruit, liquids, etc.
The H in herbs is silent, and you don’t use that type of chicken bullion, you must use maggi.
Is the H in house, home, and hotel silent? If not, why?
ma'am my ninja don't do that 😭😭 I guess it's time for an upgrade . thank you for the video this will be sooooo good on this red snapper I just bought 🤎🤎🤎
Love it....we Ethiopians do the same way.
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.
People are hella weird with these comments. But, anyway, glad I found your channel. Looks good!
We have this in Jamaica also
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.
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.
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
Nice you did a really great job!
Thanks!
Happy New Year Hun🎉😘God Bless Xxx
Happy New Year Jody!! Many blessing!
