Chop the pork butt up into 1-inch cubes. Boil half of it for about 1.5
hours, then fry it in
oil until it's browned but still tender. Dry roast the other half of
the pork so it's crispy and crunchy. Drain the grease on a paper towel.
Re-combine the two cooked meats for textural contrast. Sprinkle with
chopped cilantro. Serve with chopped white onions or green onions and a
salsa verde. Refried beans with cheese melted on top and Mexican rice
make a nice combination.
