Prepare the marinade by mixing 2 teaspoons of oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, 2 generous teaspoons of paprika, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, salt to taste, and 3 minced garlic cloves with a little water to form a paste.

Cut the pork into strips and marinate it in the paste for a couple of hours, ideally overnight.

Wrap the marinated pork in pork skin, ensuring to include some fat for flavor.

Tie the wrapped pork securely with kitchen twine.

Place the wrapped pork in a bag, remove the air, and seal it tightly.

Boil the wrapped pork in a pot of salted water for 1.5 to 2 hours.

Once cooked, let it cool in the bag to retain the juices.

Prepare a glaze with paprika and a bit of water to brush over the cooled arrollado.

Slice and serve, optionally with potatoes or bread.
