- 1 kg of pork, preferably the cut known as loin head
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 sour orange
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lard
Cut the meat into thick strips and then into cubes. Season them and set them aside.
Peel and crush the garlic. In the same mortar add a few tablespoons of hot lard and the juice of the sour orange. Stir well and season the meat with this mojo.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Arrange all the meat on the baking tray, cover it with the dressing, add a few tablespoons of lard and bake for one hour at 180ºC.
Once this time is up, take the meat out of the oven. Separate the one that you are going to fry at the moment. Store the rest of the meat in a bowl and add all the juice from the tray. Cover and keep refrigerated. It can last up to a week.
To make the fried pork doughs, put a saucepan with lard on high heat. When the butter is hot, add the meat masses previously confit in the oven. Let fry until golden brown.
Remove from heat and serve hot. They can be accompanied by golden onions, roasted potatoes, white rice, black beans, or a delicious plantain fufú as our chef proposes.
Enjoy your meal!!
