Fried pork, also known as "Griot," is a gem of Haitian cuisine. This dish is fried over charcoal with the same fat released by the meat and is usually served with patacones, also known as tostones or fried plantains.

Place the pork, garlic, onion, chili, thyme, salt, pepper, and orange juice in a large bowl. Mix very well to ensure the meat absorbs all the aromas and flavors, making sure the meat is well coated. Then, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the meat with the marinade juice to a pot and boil over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from heat once the meat is well cooked and the liquid has evaporated, then drain to remove any remaining liquid and in the same pot pour in the oil. When it is hot, add the meat and fry until crispy. Peel the plantains and cut into thick slices, about 2 cm. Heat plenty of oil over medium heat and fry the plantains until they start to turn yellow, but do not let them brown. Then, remove from the oil, place them on paper towels, and flatten them with the back of a glass. Finally, sprinkle with a little salt and return to the oil until browned. Remove the oil, place on paper towels to drain, and serve alongside the fried pork.
