Tips:
- To achieve crispy pork, ensure the skin is dry before cooking. Pat it thoroughly with paper towels and score the skin deeply to allow the fat to render and the skin to crisp up.
- Use a heavy-based pan or skillet to evenly distribute heat and prevent the pork from sticking.
- Start by searing the pork skin side down over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy. Then, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the pork is cooked through, about 1 hour.
- Allow the pork to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- For the avocado salsa, use ripe avocados that are easy to mash. Add some chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste for a refreshing and flavorful salsa.
- For the tomato salsa, use a variety of tomatoes, such as Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes, for a colorful and flavorful salsa. Add some chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.
- Serve the crispy pork with the avocado salsa and tomato salsa alongside some warm tortillas, rice, or your favorite sides.
