Enticing Garlic Pork at Christmas

caribbeanpot.com

rebeliconoclast

4 lbs pork

2 cups vinegar (everyday white vinegar)

1 scotch bonnet or habanero pepper (any hot pepper you like)

½ cup shado beni (optional)

2 tablespoon salt

20 cloves garlic

oil for frying (vegetable or any oil which can handle high heat)

note: You’ll need some patience as this must marinate for a few days at least.

Notes. Shado beni may not be traditional to this dish, but it’s what make’s it uniquely Trinbagonian so you know I had to add it. Thyme works great with this as well as oregano, but I didn’t have any fresh herbs so I couldn’t be bothered. If using thyme and/or oregano, I’ll recommend using about 1-2 tablespoon chopped. After marinating, I’ve seen some people boil the pork, then fry.. not my thing, so I just fried. You may also see some recipes call for cider vinegar.. since this will be marinating in a ton of garlic, I really don’t see the use for anything but basic vinegar. Notes.
