For the meat cooking, heat a pot over medium heat with enough water, add the pork, garlic, onion, and salt; cook for 50 minutes or until the meat is very tender, remove and reserve the meat and broth. Heat a saucepan over medium heat, add lard and fry the guajillo chiles for no more than a minute, remove and set aside; in the same saucepan, fry the sesame seeds until golden, remove and set aside; add the bread, garlic, onion along with the clove and allspice, fry for 3 minutes until golden, remove and set aside. In a blender or food processor, grind the chiles, sesame seeds, bolillo, garlic, onion, clove, allspice, orange juice, and pork broth (enough to blend); for 3 minutes. Heat the same saucepan where you fried the ingredients over high heat, add lard and the cooked meat, fry until browned on the outside for about 5 minutes; pour in the marinade, add the bay leaf, the table chocolate, the piloncillo, and more pork broth if deemed necessary; lower the temperature and cook for about 15 minutes. Serve the roast with red rice and enjoy.
