👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
In a large bowl, combine the pork cubes with sour orange juice, garlic paste, oregano, cumin, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
2
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Carefully add the marinated pork chunks to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
4
Remove the fried pork with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot.
5
Return the fried pork to the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of water or broth, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes, or until the pork is very tender.
6
Once tender, uncover and continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated and the pork is slightly crispy again. Serve hot.
