Gina’s Mojo Pork
This is the best roast pork ever! It is a family recipe, cuban in origin, and usually includes black beans and garlicy white rice on the side with some of the juice of the pork poured over the beans.
Ingredients:
Mojo Criollo (Found in your local Hispanic aisle I use Goya
brand)
or make your own Mojo Criollo
6 medium Onions
10-12 garlic cloves
1 cup sour orange juice (you may substitute 1 cup orange
juice and 1/8 cup lemon juice)
5 lb Pork butt
Preparation:
Preheat oven
to 250 degrees.
Place pork
in Dutch Oven fat side up. Score the fat
and stud with ½ of the garlic. (I like to stab holes in the pork and stuff with garlic to further distribute the garlic flavor within the pork).
Cut onions
into quarters and place in pot with the remaining garlic
Pour the
Mojo Criollo into the Dutch Oven and add 1 cup of sour orange juice.
Cook for
about 6 hours or until fork tender.
