Griot is considered a national dish of Haiti and all it takes is a taste to understand why. Adored by José Andrés, this dish is a wonderful mix of cooking techniques; marinated pork shoulder is slowly braised and then fried, leaving the meat tender and flavorful.
The most important thing for me is to highlight every part of our history, whether it's beautiful or ugly, bad or good. Haitian cuisine has developed through colonization, slavery, and centuries of poverty, and Salomon wants to acknowledge that history while telling nation's story through food.
