Cuban Mojo Pork

Marinade

Optional:

Fresh Cilantro chopped (for garnish)

    Instructions :

  1. Prepare the Mojo Marinade:

    In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of orange juice, ½ cup of lime juice, ¼ cup of olive oil, 10 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp of oregano, 2 tsp of cumin, 1 tbsp of salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix well.

  2. Marinate the Pork:

    Place the 4 lbs of pork shoulder in a large zip-top bag or a deep bowl.

    Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s fully coated.

    Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  4. Roast the Pork:

    Transfer the marinated pork to a roasting pan and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.

    Roast in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  5. Crisp the Pork:

    Remove the foil during the last 20-30 minutes of roasting and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to create a crispy exterior.

  6. Rest and Serve:

Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

Shred or slice the pork and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
