- Blend the garlic, cumin, chilli, vinegar and salt into a paste, then rub it inside and out of the guinea pigs.
- Leave to marinate for 1 hour in the cool, then brush them with oil.
- Place them on a rack, or on a tray lined with baking paper, and roast at 200 °C for 45 minutes, turning halfway through.
- While they cook, make the hot sauce by mixing the finely chopped tomato, onion, chilli, coriander and lime.
