Cuban Roast Pork dish

Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs pork shoulder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sour orange juice (or a mix of orange and lime juice)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 onion, sliced

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, cumin, minced garlic, sour orange juice, olive oil, and oregano. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Place the pork shoulder in a large resealable plastic bag or a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to let the flavors meld.
  3. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  4. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan. Scatter sliced onions around the pork.
  5. Cover the pan with foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Halfway through cooking, you can remove the foil to allow the pork to brown.
  6. Once cooked, take the pork out of the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then, shred the meat with two forks, mixing it with the juices and onions from the pan for added flavor.
  7. Serve the Cuban Roast Pork with rice, plantains, or your choice of sides, and enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite!

This Cuban Roast Pork is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavor and culture. Enjoy making this dish and sharing it with your loved ones!
