    Haitian Griot pronounced Gree-oh is a creole pork dish that is part of Haitian culture.  This dish is found on the streets and often times the dish of choice for a special celebration.  It is a beloved dish and for good reason, it is spicy and delicious.  This dish is Haitian cuisine.  If you want a lower calorie version, you can broil the pork instead of frying it at the end.  This dish is served with rice and beans, fried plantains and of course pikliz.
