Best Haitian Legumes Recipes
HAITIAN LEGUMES
This is another one of my favorites that we used to serve as a whole meal with some rice and fried plantains. It is one of the best ways to serve eggplant; with cabbage, carrots, spinach, watercress, & chayotte. I have had it as a meatless dish and also, with crab, or beef & beef bones with marrow. This is a combination of many recipes and in my attempt to get the right amounts to post I may have had to guesstimate a few times. Please forgive me!

- Brown beef in small amount of oil.
- Add tomato paste, seasonings and water to cover the beef.
- Add chopped green bell pepper and place on top of the beef while it is cooking.
- Let the beef cook until tender, continually adding tomato paste mixture as needed, so beef does not burn or dry out.

- First, add the cabbage and eggplant, next add the lima beans and green beans. Add the carrots, and chayottes - allow to steam until somewhat tender, then add spinach and watercress.

- This also goes very well with white rice and black beans or kidney beans, that have been cooked down and blended in a blender to make sauce pois(bean sauce).
- Enjoy!

RICE & BEANS (HAITIAN STYLE)
This recipe for rice and beans is so delicious! I have adapted it from the traditional Haitian style of making rice and beans. The scent and taste of the cloves make the dish! Serve with avocado on the side and you'll want it every night of the week!
