Ingredients

  • 1kg fatty pork shoulder, cut into 4cm dice

  • 1/2 orange, cut in half

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 white onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • sea salt, to taste

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients and 2 cups water in a wide, heavy-based pot and bring to the boil, skimming the surface regularly.

    Lower the heat and simmer the mixture gently, stirring from time to time, for about 2 hours, or until the pork is very tender and all the liquid has evaporated.

    Remove the orange pieces and bay leaves.

    Preheat the oven to 220°C.

    Place the pork and fat in an ovenproof dish and roast, uncovered, in the oven for 20 minutes or until browned.

    Transfer to a plate and serve on fresh tortillas.
