How to cook it · about 240 minutes

  1. Make the pikliz, ideally the day before: thinly slice the cabbage, grate the carrots, and slice 2 scotch bonnets into thin rings (wear gloves). Pack them into a jar with 1 tsp salt and pour over the vinegar to cover. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  2. Make the epis: blend the bell pepper, green onions, parsley, garlic, the last scotch bonnet, thyme leaves, 2 tbsp oil and the juice of 2 limes into a thick green paste.
  3. Cut the pork into 2-inch cubes. Rinse them with the juice of the other 2 limes and some water, then drain. Toss with half the epis, the orange juice, ground cloves and 2 tsp salt. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  4. Put the pork and marinade in a pot with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 1 hour until tender. Uncover, turn up the heat, and cook until almost all the liquid is gone.
  5. While the pork simmers, cook the rice.
  6. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy skillet to 350F, or until a piece of pork sizzles hard on contact. Fry the pork in batches for 4 to 5 minutes, turning, until deep brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve the griot with rice, the rest of the epis as a sauce, and a big spoonful of pikliz on the side.
