Pernil Garlic Fried Rice with a Fried Egg and Mojo Drizzle

Method

1. In a bowl, toss the pork with the grated garlic, oregano, cumin, half the salt and the vinegar, and marinate for 15 min.

2. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic and coriander to make the mojo.

   Add in this stepLime, juiced ½Extra virgin olive oil 2 tbspGarlic cloves, finely minced (for the mojo) 1Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped 6 g

3. Put most of the vegetable oil and the sliced garlic in a 26 cm wok or frying pan over medium-low heat. Cook for 3 min, stirring gently, and lift the garlic out onto kitchen paper as soon as it turns pale gold; dark brown garlic tastes bitter, so take it out the moment it colours. Leave the garlic-scented oil in the pan.
