Grilled pork, just like in Benin

Grilled pork is a classic dish in the villages of southern Benin, where the meat is cooked over a wood fire. The recipe relies on a tamarind marinade, which imparts a slightly tangy note typical of the region. Chili peppers and garlic are added, giving the meat a wonderful flavor. Grilling creates a much-appreciated golden crust, but you can also cook it in a very hot pan. The pieces will remain tender thanks to the marinade. This dish is often served with gari (cassava semolina). It also pairs well with local tomato sauces. This dish can easily be prepared at home while staying true to tradition, although the cooking and taste will differ slightly when cooked in a pan. However, the recipe will naturally be gluten-free.
