Lurín is a beautiful valley just south of Lima, the capital of Peru. The landscape is stunning, with small farms, horse stables, small towns, gorgeous beaches, an island in the shape of a whale that you can see from the coast, and a major archeological site at Pachacamac, one of the main attractions in the area. Equally famous is the fried pork, called chicharrón, that is made here.

1
Chop the pork into large pieces. Place them in water with a cup of salt, covered, for eight hours. You can do this the day before; however, some recommend only taking one to two hours for this process, to prevent the meat from drying out.
2
Once soaking is done, drain the meat and rinse it with water. Place the meat in a pot and cover with water. Add the bay leaves and bring to a boil over medium heat until the water has completely evaporated.
3
When there is no water left in the pot, you'll see that the meat will begin to fry in the fat it has rendered. When this happens, you should start turning the pork pieces around so that they are evenly browned and don't burn.
4
When they're ready, turn off the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
5
In the meantime, heat the oil in a pan and fry the sweet potato slices on both sides, until they change color slightly. Do not allow them to brown or get crunchy.
6
Creole sauce: Combine all ingredients.
7
To serve: Cut the meat into chunks and serve it with the fried sweet potato, creole sauce, other sauces, bread, etc.

Use other cuts of pork that have fat in them so that the meat does not dry out. If you're not sure, talk to your butcher.
Add spearmint instead of cilantro to the creole sauce.
Use red bell pepper instead of yellow bell pepper in the creole sauce.
