步骤

Heat the lard in a deep roasting pan over medium heat. Stir in the pork, bay leaves, salt, pepper, onions, and garlic. Squeeze the orange into the mixture and drop in the orange halves. Add more lard if needed to cover all of the ingredients.

💡 Use fresh pork shoulder for the best flavor and texture.Ensure the pork is fully submerged in the lard for consistent cooking.Discard used lard properly; do not pour it down the drain to avoid clogging.
