1 cup finely chopped onions

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a heavy 12-inch skillet, heat the ¼ cup of vegetable oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Add the pork cubes. Turn them about frequently with a spoon and regulate the heat so that they brown richly and evenly without burning.
|
2. Stir in the onions, shallots, orange juice, lime juice, water, thyme, ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover the pan, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
|
3. Then uncover the pan, raise the heat to high and, stirring frequently to prevent the meat from sticking, cook briskly for about 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens to a syrupy glaze.
|
4. To serve, transfer the entire contents of the skillet to a heated platter. "Griots" are traditionally served with sauce Ti-Malice and accompanied by fried sweet potatoes or fried Banane Pese.
