Cut the back tendon of each hoof where the joint is. Cut a small slice right under the belly of the pig on either side to slide the hoof in. Then do the same process for the front hooves. Make a small cut right under the neck so you can slide the front hoof in as well. For the Mojo: Toast cumin, crushed pepper, and black pepper to release the oils. Using a food processor combine all ingredients for Mojo and puree. Strain Juice from pulp set aside. Add ½ cup salad oil to pulp and mix into a paste. Using a Meat syringe draw the liquid and inject along the bone area of the hind quarter, shoulders and rib areas. Liberally rub Mojo paste inside cavity. Let rest at least 6-12 hours. Follow instructions of how to use the La Cachina grill. It usually takes about 1.5-2 hours to fully cook the pig. Serve with your favorite sides. I use Carolina red peas, pickled onions, cojita cheese, cilantro sprigs, and citrus crema
