  • Make a rub for the pork: mince the garlic however you like (through a press or crushed with a knife) and crush the dry bay leaf too. Mix them with salt and ground black pepper (you can grind in some allspice as well). The meat should be well rinsed and then patted dry. Make cuts across the surface and tuck flat slivers of garlic into them; first rub each cut with salt mixed with ground black pepper. Rub the whole piece with the garlic-and-bay mixture, then set the meat in a dish, cover, and leave it overnight. The next day, wrap the meat in foil and roast for about an hour and a half at 325–350°F (160–180°C). Take it out, let it cool, and store it in the refrigerator — this roast pork is meant to be eaten cold.
