Souse
Pork-knuckle souse with cucumber, lime, white wine vinegar and parsley.
About Souse
Souse combines cooked pork with a sharp dressing and fresh cucumber. Taste-St. Lucia's Saint Lucian version uses pork knuckle, onion, garlic and vegetable stock, followed by lime juice, white wine vinegar and parsley.
Lime and vinegar give the broth a tangy character, balanced by the savoury pork and aromatics. Scotch bonnet supplies heat.
Bite-sized pork pieces sit in the broth with grated cucumber. Finely chopped parsley finishes the bowls.
