Griots de Porc Glazed Pork Pieces
Pork griots is an extremely popular dish in Haiti - and no wonder. It's relativley easy to prepare and it's quite delicious. I pretty much followed the recipe to a T, only making a substitution for the bitter orange juice.
Glazed Pork Pieces
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork shoulder, cubed
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped shallots
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup bitter orange juice (or substitute Â1/2 cup orange juice & 1/2 cup lime juice)
- 1 fresh hot pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Place all ingredients, saved for the oil, in a cooking pot. Let stand for one hour unrefrigerated or refrigerate overnight. Cover with water and simmer until the pork is cooked through, about 90 minutes. Drain.
Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add pork and fry until the pieces become brown and crusty.
