By Posted on: FoodLeave a Comment on Griot – Fried Pork

Griot is a beloved traditional Haitian dish — chunks of pork shoulder marinated in citrus and spices, then braised until tender and fried until gloriously crisp. It is almost always served alongside bannann peze (fried plantains) and pikliz, a fiery pickled vegetable relish.

Ingredients

3 lbs shoulder of pork, cut into 1 to 2 inch cubes
½ cup of chopped shallots
1 cup of bitter orange juice (or a mix of lime and orange juice)
½ cup of vegetable oil
1 scotch bonnet pepper, whole
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh thyme sprigs

Method

Combine pork with shallots, citrus juice, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Transfer everything to a heavy pot, add ½ cup water, and simmer covered until the pork is tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour. Remove the pork pieces and fry in vegetable oil over medium-high heat until deeply golden and crisp on all sides. Drain and serve immediately with fried plantains and pikliz.

Despite the Joke and the Diet Coke - When You Suffer a Stroke You Cannot Stay Woke

<div><p>John talks about Trump’s repeated declarations of imminent deals with Iran, questioning the credibility of his statements as he seems increasingly detached from reality. He highlights Trumps bizarre behavior during public appearances, including falling asleep on stage and his weird drugged demeanor. John also discusses Trumps ​new ​nominee ​for ​Director ​of ​National ​Intelligence, ​Jay ​Clayton. ​And ​if ​you're ​wondering ​what ​intelligence ​experience ​Clayton ​has ​that ​qualifies ​him ​to ​oversee ​your ​country's ​entire ​intelligence ​apparatus, ​the ​answer ​is... ​he ​went ​on ​CNBC ​this ​week ​and ​hinted ​that ​California ​elections ​might ​be ​rigged. Next, <strong>Ann Larson</strong>, author of "Clean Up on Aisle Five," joins the conversation, shedding light on the struggles of grocery workers during the pandemic and the systemic issues of poverty and exploitation in the food industry. Together, they explore the implications of corporate greed and the urgent need for a living wage for essential workers. Then, <strong>Simon Moya Smith</strong> and <strong>Julie Francella</strong>, return for another edition of "We're Still Here". One of the standout moments in the episode is the discussion around the upcoming House of Smoke and Ash event, organized by the James Beard Foundation. This indigenous culinary event showcases the rich foodways and traditions of native chefs, emphasizing the importance of food sovereignty and the need for greater recognition of indigenous contributions to our culinary landscape.</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p></div>

First U.S. Asian Community

The first Filipino community in the United States found its home in the bayous and marshes outside New Orleans, Louisiana. The earliest settlement known was founded around 1765. These Filipino pioneers thought that the swamps of New Orleans gave them safe haven from the Spaniards. They became known as the Manila Men who lived in stilt houses built above the water. Over generations, the Manila Men developed a thriving fishing and shrimping trade, supplying seafood to the city of New Orleans. Their settlements, known as "Filipino Villages," represented the first permanent Asian settlement in North America. The community maintained strong ties to Filipino culture while also integrating into the unique Creole culture of Louisiana. Their legacy is a powerful reminder of the deep and often overlooked contributions of Asian Americans to the founding fabric of the United States.
