Ingredients:

For Griot (Fried Pork):

  • 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper, minced (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For Fried Plantains:

  • 2 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced diagonally into 1-inch pieces
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Salt, to taste

For Fried Malanga:

  • 2 medium malanga roots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Salt, to taste

For Pikliz (Spicy Cabbage Slaw):

  • 1 small cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 scotch bonnet peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions:

1- Marinate the pork: In a large bowl, combine the pork pieces with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and lime juice. Mix well to coat the pork evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

2- Prepare the pikliz: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, thinly sliced onion, and sliced scotch bonnet peppers. In a separate bowl, mix together the vinegar, salt, and sugar until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

3- Fry the pork: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C). Fry the marinated pork pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

4- Fry the plantains: In the same skillet or fryer, add more oil if needed and heat to 350°F (180°C). Fry the plantain slices in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

5- Fry the malanga: Heat oil in a skillet or fryer to 350°F (180°C). Fry the malanga slices in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

6- Serve the Haiti Fritaille: Arrange the fried pork, plantains, and malanga on a serving platter. Serve alongside the pikliz and pikliz mayo for dipping. Enjoy your delicious assortment of Haiti Fritaille!
