INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4
In a small saucepan, heat half of the orange juice until warm. Toast the
chillies on an iron skillet, then let them soak in the orange juice for 20
minutes. Transfer the chillies and orange juice to a blender, add the onion
and vinegar and puree. Set aside.
In a mortar, grind the garlic, thyme, cloves, cumin, oregano, cinnamon,
allspice and salt. Add the pureed chillies and stir well. Add enough orange
juice to dilute the mixture until it has the consistency of yoghurt.
Use a fork to pierce the loin of pork all over. Transfer to a baking pan or
dish, cover with the chilli and orange sauce and refrigerate, covered, for
at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Turn occasionally.
2 hours before roasting, remove the loin of pork from the refrigerator and
smear lightly with the lard. Let stand in the sauce at room temperature.
Cover the loin of pork with aluminium foil and roast for 2 hours, basting
periodically with the pan juices. Turn the meat over, cover and roast for
about 1 more hour. When the meat can be easily pierced with a fork, in 2-3
hours, turn the oven temperature up to 230°C/450°F/gas mark 8, uncover the
meat and roast for 5-10 minutes or until browned, being careful not to let
it burn. Let it stand for 15 minutes before slicing. If you wish, you can
double the quantity of sauce and serve extra to accompany the sliced pork.
