Steps:
- Rub the pork belly with the salt and let sit for 1 hour.
- Rinse well under cold water, pat dry, and cut into roughly 2x½" (5x1.5-cm) chunks.
- In a heavy pan, melt the lard over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and bay leaves. Stir well for 2 minutes, then add the pork belly. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 45 minutes, turning the meat every 15 minutes.
- Increase the heat and sear every side of the pork pieces over high heat for a further 15 minutes. Remove the pork and cut it into smaller chunks. Serve hot with lime wedges.

Steps:
- marinade the pork chunks in a zip lock, refrigerate at least 8 hours
- place in a large pot, cover with enough water just above the pork, boil uncovered, the water will evaporate, as that happens after like 30 mins, there will be no more water and the pork chunks will begin to brown, at this point...lower the temp...(don't want them to burn)and drizzle with the olive oil, add salt & pepper and smashed garlic
- as soon as they brown, take out and squeeze the limes.
