METHOD
Pork filling:
- Sauté the chopped onions in olive oil until very soft and lightly golden.
- Add the garlic and grated carrot; cook for 2–3 more minutes.
- Stir in the shredded pork and vinegar macho. Cook briefly to combine flavours. Season and let cool.
Assembling the rolls:
- Place a sheet of filo pastry on your work surface. Spoon some filling at one end.
- Roll it up like a spring roll, folding in the sides. Seal the edge with a little water.
- Fry in hot oil (170–180 ºC) until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Boiled mojo:
- Boil the garlic, cumin, chili, paprika, and salt in water for 5 minutes.
- Blend with the oil and vinegar to a smooth, light sauce.
Yogurt mojo:
- Combine all ingredients and mix until creamy and smooth.
Plating:
- Lay a lettuce leaf on each plate.
- Place two crispy rolls on top.
- Drizzle both sauces over the rolls.
- Garnish with coriander, mint leaves, and pickled onion.
