  4. Return all the meat to the pot, salt it, add the cumin and cover it for fifteen minutes.

  5. Add the onion in thick half-moons and fry until it turns translucent.

  6. Add the potatoes in large pieces and cook twenty minutes more, covered.

  7. Return the crackling, add the garlic and coriander and serve it straight from the pot with bread.
