Guillermo Pernot, a James Beard Award-winning chef, developed this Cuban pork dish to embrace his wife’s native cuisine. Pork takes center stage at nearly every special occasion in Cuba. The pork for this dish is marinated in citrus and spices, then slow-roasted until falling-apart tender and served with a garlicky Sour Orange Mojo sauce. I have found that we do not need the entire recipe for the mojo sauce so I only make half. This is going to be another one of your favorites! Enjoy! <\/p>\n

\"Cuban<\/a><\/p>\n

3-lbs. boneless pork shoulder, tied
\n4 Tbsp. kosher salt
\n1 Tbsp. black pepper
\nJuice of 6 fresh limes
\n2 C. orange juice concentrate
\n1 C. olive oil
\n1 quart water
\n1 Tbsp. ground cumin
\n2 bay leaves
\n3 garlic cloves, minced
\n1 Tbsp. dried oregano<\/p>\n

Make 3-inch slits over entire surface of the meat, and rub generously with salt and pepper. Mix remainder of ingredients in a deep, heavy-bottomed roasting pan. Add pork and enough water to bring liquid halfway up the sides of the meat. Marinate for 4 hours or up to 3 days.<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cover pan and roast the pork in the marinade, for 4 hours. Uncover and continue cooking for another 30 minutes. Remove meat from pan and allow to cool. Cut into large chunks and serve with Sour Orange Mojo (recipe below).<\/p>\n

Serves: 4<\/p>\n

Sour Orange Mojo:
\n1 C. olive oil
\n10 garlic cloves, minced
\n1\/2 onion, minced
\njuice of 1 large orange
\njuice of 8 limes
\n1\/2 tsp. oregano
\n2 tsp. ground cumin
\n1 tsp. salt
\n1 tsp. pepper
\n1\/4 C. chopped fresh parsley<\/p>\n

Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in juices, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and 2\/3 cup water, and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat, add remaining oil, and let cool. Stir in parsley and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
