Does anyone here enjoy any righteous Haitian recipe?

I was hoping possibly for a recipe for legume or black rice and that really delicious potatoe salad. You see my husband is Haitian so i found out that i love the food but don't really know how to cook it. His household doesn't really speak English well to explain to me and my hubby is deployed to Iraq. I own looked online for recipes but never really found any. Any recipe would be greatly appreciated! Thanks within advance.
