Ingredients

1 Pork

600 grams of Mojo for marinating

230 milliliters of Vegetable oil

2 kilograms of Oriental congrí

800 grams of Fried pork chunks

400 grams of Onion mojo

1 pinch of Salt

Preparation

Step 1 : To prepare the pork, start by making a small incision in its belly and remove the intestines and viscera, making sure to clean it thoroughly.

Step 2 : Then, remove the ribs, spine, hip, and femurs bones.

Step 3 : Season with salt and marinate with mojo, letting it rest for about 12 hours.

Step 4 : Next, stuff the pork with the fried pork chunks cut into pieces and the partially cooked Congrí, so they finish cooking inside the pork while roasting.

Step 5 : It is important not to overfill it to allow the rice to expand.

Step 6 : Once filled, sew the opening with strong thread and place it on a baking tray over wooden boards to prevent sticking.

Step 7 : Fold the pork's legs and place them upside down on the boards.

Step 8 : Brush with oil, repeating this operation occasionally to brown evenly.

Step 9 : Cover the ears and tail with aluminum foil and bake at regular temperature for 2½ to 3 hours, until the skin is toasted and crispy.

Step 10 : When serving, add onion mojo on top to enhance the flavor of the pork.
