Method

Clean the meat and pierce it on several sides.
Remove the seeds from the prunes, wrap them in the ham, and place one in each piercing.
Marinate the meat with the crushed garlic, pepper, and the juice of the sour orange.
Cover it with the onion rings and the ají cachucha, and let it marinate for at least 3 hours. You can also marinate it from the night before.
Fry the bacon strips until they release all their fat.
Drain the meat from the marinade and brown it on all sides in that fat.
Add the dry wine and the juice of two sweet oranges.
Cover tightly and cook over low heat until the meat is tender, adding more orange juice as needed so it does not stick.
