Preparation:
Season the pork with the cumin, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Let it rest in the refrigerator for a couple of hours if you have time. In a large wok or a sauté pan add the meat, the chopped onion and shallot, the whole garlic cloves and the 3 cups of water.

Cook on medium heat until the water is almost gone.
Add the orange juice and let it reduce

The meat will begin to brown, stir frequently to avoid burning, cook until all the pieces are evenly browned.
Add the boiled yuca, mote or hominy and plantains to the same pan or you can also arrange the fritada and the sides on a large serving platter.

Serve the fritada with the sides including the yuca, hominy, plantains, curtido (marinated onion lime cilantro tomato salad), avocado slices and aji criollo (hot sauce).
