First, the Pikliz. This is the stuff you're gonna put on the griot to make it really happen. Chop up the cabbage, dice the onions, and julienne the carrots. You can dice up some shallot and green or red peppers if you wanna use those too. Stick them all in a jar along with the cloves, a teaspoon of salt, and a scotch bonnet. Heat the vinegar until it starts to simmer, then pour that in the jar as well. Tighten the lid, let it sit for 48 hours, and you're golden. Next, the rice. Soak the mushrooms in a small bowl of warm water for half an hour, just enough to cover the mushrooms. It will both smell and look like a bowl of dirt. This is ok.

After the pork's done marinating, throw it in a big pot and cover with water. Boil it on medium-high until all the water evaporates; it should take around an hour.
