Haitian Cuisine: Enjoy a good lalo to start April off right!

When was the last time you enjoyed a good lalo? Were you satisfied? What particularly struck you: the taste, the company of good friends?

Tell us all about it in the comments!


Lalo is an iconic dish from northern Haiti, particularly popular in the Artibonite region. It is prepared with jute leaves, a green plant with multiple health benefits. Rich in iron, vitamins, and fiber, lalo is known to give strength and energy.

At home, we often cook it with beef, crab, or shrimp, served with white rice and a spicy sauce. Its slightly sticky texture may be surprising, but its savory flavor and spices make it a comforting dish that everyone enjoys.

Beyond its flavor, lalo holds a special place in Haitian culture: it’s often prepared at large family gatherings or on holidays, bringing together young and old alike around a delicious meal.

So, are you ready to savor a delicious lalo to welcome April with a sweet tooth?
