- It is important to cover it and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours so that it macerates properly. It is recommended to keep the boy in a plastic bag to avoid odors in the refrigerator. This way, the black roast will have a more intense and delicious flavor.
Preparation of the roast in its sauce
- Heat the oil very well in a pot and add the paprika (you can substitute sugar, but the flavor that paprika gives is unique).
- When it is dark, seal the meat in this mixture until it is practically black, give it time, so that it is really dark.
