Steps

1 hour 40 minutes
  1. 1

    Heat the lard, then add the milk, orange juice, garlic head, and herbs. Cut the meat into small pieces and add it to the lard. Season with salt and cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until almost all the liquid is absorbed. After this time, let the meat start to brown in the lard and set aside.
