Pierna adobadaAdobo roast pork leg

From Puebla to Monterrey, a dark red leg of pork comes out of the oven on 24 or 31 December, its adobo of ancho and guajillo chiles, garlic, vinegar and orange caramelised into a sticky crust. It is sliced at the table with apple salad and Christmas rice, and the leftovers fill tortas for days. This recipe uses a smaller boneless leg or shoulder joint of pork that fits a home oven; it marinates overnight in the fridge and roasts low and slow. Chef's tip: baste with the pan juices every half hour once the foil comes off, so the adobo glazes rather than burns.

Tacos árabesSpit-roast pork tacos

Lebanese and Iraqi immigrants who settled in Puebla in the early twentieth century brought the shawarma spit, and Puebla answered with tacos árabes: thin slices of pork marinated in lime, vinegar, herbs and cumin, roasted on a vertical spit and wrapped in soft pan árabe, a thick pitta-like flatbread. This home version stacks the pork on a skewer in the oven. It is served with a smoky chipotle salsa and lime. Chef's tip: marinate the pork overnight in the fridge for the most tender, tangy result.

Sanduíche de pernil (São Paulo roast pork roll)

This is pork in its most loved São Paulo form: a leg marinated in garlic, lime and paprika, roasted until it falls into slices, and stuffed into a crusty pão francês. It is what fans eat outside the Pacaembu and Morumbi stadiums before a match, and the all-night bar on the Viaduto Nove de Julho has fed it to taxi drivers and night owls for decades. The meat is juicy and tangy, cut with a fresh tomato and onion vinaigrette. Chef's tip: slice the pork thin and drop it back into the roasting juices before filling the rolls; it should drip a little.
