Griot
Fried Pork
Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Haitian dishes.
What it is
Crispy, succulent marinated pork chunks, traditionally pre-boiled then fried until golden. A quintessential Haitian dish known for its rich flavor and tender-crisp texture.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder, sour orange or lime juice, epis (blend of garlic, bell peppers, onions, thyme, parsley, scallions), salt, black pepper, vegetable oil for deep frying.
Optional tweaks
Request without plantains (bannann peze) or any other starchy sides. Pikliz (spicy coleslaw) is typically keto-friendly.
Say this to the waiter (Haitian Creole)
Mwen vle Griot la san bannann peze ak lòt bagay ki gen lanmidon bò kote l.
I'd like the Griot without plantains or any other starchy sides, please.
Watch out for
Restaurants almost always serve Griot with high-carb sides like fried plantains (bannann peze) or rice. A very small pinch of sugar might be used in some marinades for browning, but is generally negligible.
