Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium high.
  2. In a large bowl: Squeeze lemon juice over pork. Season pork with cumin, pepper and salt to taste. Pour orange juice over pork and toss. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
  3. Test oil rediness by dropping a small piece of pork into oil. If it sizzles instantly, it is ready.
  4. Discard marinade and place pork (slowly, one by one) into hot pan with tongs not fork. Cover with foil/lid and fry for about 15 minute Remove foil/lid and let fry for another 5 mins uncovered. Turn pork pieces and fry evenly on other sides (about 5-7 mins more). Finally, with tongs, stir pork around (turning frequently) in the hot pan for about 2 more mins or until you see a nice dark golden caramalized color on pork. Remove from pan with tongs and drain on paper towel. Serve warm.
