Instructions

  1. Crush the garlic, chilies, salt, pepper, paprika and cumin with the oil and lime juice to form a paste.
  2. Make a few cuts in the meat and rub it all over with the paste. Let it marinate at least 1 hour in the fridge, ideally overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Thinly slice the onion and spread it at the bottom of an ovenproof dish.
  4. Place the meat on the onions, add 100 ml of water to the dish and cover with foil.
  5. Bake for about 1 hour 30 minutes, basting the roast with its juices every 30 minutes.
  6. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly, then spoon the cooking juices over the slices.

Variations and tips

Braised in a Dutch oven. Brown the meat in a heavy pot, then cook it covered over very low heat for 2 hours with a little water.
