Haitian Griots

    What a wonderful flavor! I thought this was a little tedious to produce with all the different steps, but it was well worth it. I don't have a blender, so I just minced everything. As a result, I didn't really have a paste to carmelize on the last step. However, the flavor was still really excellent. I just spooned a tablespoon of the greatly-reduced sauce over the fried pork at the end. YUM!
