00:00Even if you look in the dishes like red beans and rice, things like that, these are directly identified as dishes that came through Haiti into New Orleans.
00:09So there's so many bridges, and I can talk about hours for this. Bridges and bridges and bridges.
00:14So tell me, what is your favorite dish that you see as a reflection from Haiti in New Orleans right now?
00:20I mean, I just said it, but red beans. Red beans is almost so similar.
00:26You know, beans itself and legumes are something that you can find in so many places across the world.
00:32But the way we cook beans here in New Orleans and the way they cook beans in Haiti are so similar.
00:37The only thing that we do different is that we don't add meat to our beans. We put it in after.
00:41But after that, it all starts out very similar. You know, you start out with that mirepoix.
00:45You add a bunch of seasonings, cook it down nice and slow, smooth it out, blend it.
00:50Some people do, some people don't. But these flavors are so identical.
00:54And you can find older recipes way back in Hispaniola with the same kind of idea of what they have here in dishes in New Orleans.
