Chancho a la cruz

Chancho a la cruz is a Bolivian dish consisting of a whole hog that is slowly cooked on a cross. The meat is not placed over a fire, but is instead smoked for about 8 to 12 hours. Due to the long cooking process, chancho a la cruz is typically started in the morning, and in the evening, when the dish is ready to be consumed, there is typically a party or a celebration once the hog is cut and served.
