In a pressure cooker over high heat, heat the water. Once it boils, add the onion, garlic, and pork leg. Season with salt, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from heat. In a deep skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, guajillo pepper, tomato, bolillo, black pepper, cloves, bay leaves, and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Blend the previous preparation with a minimal amount of chicken broth. Heat a saucepan over medium heat and pour in the marinade preparation. Incorporate the meat and orange juice. Cook until you achieve a thick consistency. Serve the wedding roast on a slightly deep plate, garnish with cilantro, and accompany with white rice and a delicious Sidral Mundet® Plum flavor.
