Tips for making a delicious Christmas milk sucker
I like to marinate the milk pig for at least 3 hours with the orange and lemon juice, since it is the average time in which the meat absorbs the liquid very well, to finally obtain a milk pig with a acidic flavor and very special juicy texture. Try it, and you will see that it will be magic on the palate.
