    This was delicious. I made it without meat by subbing broth for water and just skipping the marinating steps. And used sofrito instead of blending the stuff together since its basically the same thing. And I slow cooked for a few hours but besides that no other changes to the recipe. I think I followed it pretty closely and it turned out great

    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!,This was delicious. I made it without meat by subbing broth for water and just skipping the marinating steps. And used sofrito instead of blending the stuff together since its basically the same thing. And I slow cooked for a few hours but besides that no other changes to the recipe. I think I followed it pretty closely and it turned out great,Great recipe! My haitian and non-haitian friends who tried it, loved it. In my case, used goat meat and fresh zipper peas because I don’t do beef often and was too lazy to go by lima beans and green beans. Still turned out wonderful!
    This dish is Delicious and I look forward to making this more often! 🙂
