We make it exactly as TMOliver suggests except we add no lard. We first sear the meat in a small amount of oil, then add several cups of water and boil it till almost falling apart. By then the fat has rendered out of the meat and the water has evaporated leaving only the fat to crisp up the meat in the last part of cooking.
