We have a ton of pork shoulder in our deep freezer, thanks to an incredible deal ($1.49/lb!!!) so I've been looking up different recipes and experimenting to see what I can come up with. We can only eat pulled pork so many times, right?
I came across this recipe for Haitian Griot and just had to try it. The recipe was super simple, used ingredients I already had on hand (staying true to my pantry challenge, whoot whoot!) and was incredibly delicious. I'm guessing the acidity in the marinade played a major hand in breaking the meat down, so the dish was perfectly seasoned and nice and moist.
The only changes I made were the juices (I used bottled, I'm sure it would have been that much better with fresh though!) and I didn't have any scotch bonnet peppers on hand so I used an insanely hot pepper sauce that we have. It did the trick. I also added a few more onions and extra garlic, because we like them.
I have posted the recipe below with my changes, but please feel free to head over to www.nytimes.com for the original!

1 T kosher salt
1 T ground black pepper
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 T concentrated orange juice
2 T lemon juice
2 T lime juice
1 T Worcestershire sauce
Pork shoulder (3-4lbs) cut in 2" chunks
2 T EVOO
Cooked rice for serving
Throw all ingredients except the EVOO in a dutch oven or heavy pot with lid and mix well. Marinate in the fridge over night. Remove from the fridge about 2 hours before ready to cook. Preheat oven to 325. On the stovetop, bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, and then transfer in to the oven for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven, and remove the meat from the pot with a slotted spoon. Cook the liquid over med-hi heat, simmering for about 15 minutes, or until it is reduced and thick. Meanwhile, heat your broiler, and place the meat on a cookie sheet in one layer. Toss with kosher salt & EVOO. Broil for about 5 minutes, until crispy and brown but not dried out. Serve with rice!
I also served mine with an amazing bean salad that I had thrown together the previous day, and I had zoodles (zucchini noodles) instead of rice since I'm doing the low(ish) carb thing.
So good!!!
