Haitian Griot with Fried Plantains
Tender pork shoulder marinated in aromatic epis and citrus, air-fried until crispy and served with golden, savory pressed plantains.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz pork shoulder
1 tbsp Haitian epis
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp sour orange juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried thyme
0.13 large green plantain
0 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup shredded cabbage
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp minced scotch bonnet pepper
PREPARATION
Combine the cubed pork shoulder in a bowl with Haitian epis, lime juice, sour orange juice, sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Transfer the pork and marinade to a pot, add a splash of water, and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes until the meat is tender.
Remove the pork from the liquid and pat dry; toss with half of the olive oil and air-fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes until the edges are crispy.
Peel the green plantain and cut into thick rounds, then boil in salted water for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Drain the plantains, press them flat using a heavy glass or plantain press, brush with the remaining olive oil, and air-fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.
Toss the shredded cabbage with apple cider vinegar and minced scotch bonnet pepper to create a quick, spicy pikliz garnish.
Serve the crispy pork griot alongside the savory plantains and top with the vibrant pikliz.
