Method

Roast Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). In a bowl, mix the moruno spice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Rub the marinade all over the pork shoulder.

  2. 2

    Roast the Pork

    Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 4-5 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to allow the top to caramelize.

Fried Onions Preparation

  1. 3

    Fry the Onions

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Dredge the thinly sliced onions in the mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and fry the onions until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the papo seco buns in half. Layer shredded roast pork on the bottom half, followed by a generous portion of fried onions. Top with the other half of the bun. Serve with fries on the side.
