Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

In a large pot, rub the meat pieces with salt, pepper and cumin.
Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves and orange, and add enough water (or lard) to come halfway up the meat.
Simmer, covered, over low heat for 2-2.5 hours, until the meat falls apart.
Remove the meat and shred it coarsely with two forks.
Before serving, crisp the shreds over high heat in a little fat or the remaining juices.
