Steps

over 1 hour
  1. 1

    In a large, wide pot, melt the lard over medium heat. Cut the pork jowl into several pieces, clean off excess skin, and add to the pot.

  2. 2

    Peel the garlic cloves from the head and add them to the pot along with the other ingredients and the pork jowl.

  3. 3

    Cook uncovered for 2 hours over medium heat (on a 9-level stove, set to level 5).

  4. 4

    After the time is up, remove the oranges and herbs, discard them, and increase the heat to high to brown the pork jowl for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Once done, let the pieces drain on a rack to release as much fat as possible. Place the pieces in a bowl, avoiding the skin and most of the fat, and shred with two forks. They are now ready to enjoy.
