"Blé"
|
Anyway, I don’t know what he did or how he did it but it was the BEST blé I have ever had in my life! It was so spicy and so flavorful and there was no other way to describe it. Any other blé that I have had, whether someone else made it or myself, has never come up to par with what he made that day. Sadly, I was never able to figure out his secret recipe on the blé before he passed. However, I have been able to develop a version that I personally enjoy. The main difference compared to any traditional version of Haitian Blé is the addition of salt pork. It’s almost like bacon but fattier and it’s not smoked. However, it lends it a great flavor. The ingredients of this recipe is below and followed by an instructional video on how I make it. I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think!
