Pork griot is one of Haiti’s culinary treasures, and it’s easy to see why. Big chunks of pork shoulder are marinated in a citrus and spice blend, roasted until meltingly tender, then grilled until bronzed and charred at their edges. Here, Chef Vanessa pairs them with creamed spinach, infused with fire-roasted poblanos, and fragrant pea-studded rice. There’s pikliz, too—a traditional cabbage slaw that adds a tangy, pickled punch.
