How to Make Cuchifritos
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pork belly, pork shoulder, minced garlic, dried oregano, adobo seasoning, and ground black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with the seasonings. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough vegetable oil for frying to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the marinated pork pieces to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
- Remove the cuchifritos from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your delicious cuchifritos hot with dipping sauces like mayo-ketchup or hot sauce. Enjoy the authentic flavors of Puerto Rican street food
