AUTHENTIC CUBAN PORK ROAST



Authentic Cuban Pork Roast image

Provided by Coco and Ash

Categories     dinner     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 11

10-15 pound bone-in pork butt ((give or take a pound))
1/2 cup olive oil
cloves from 2 whole heads of garlic peeled
1/3 cup sour orange juice
1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice ((about 1 large naval orange))
3/4 cup fresh lime juice ((about 8 limes))
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/4 cup fresh packed cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients (except the pork) in a food processor or blender and blend until completely liquified.
  • Line a roasting pan with foil and place the roasting rack in the pan. Place the pork, skin side down on the roasting rack. Add 2 cups of water to the bottom of the roasting pan.
  • Using a meat injector, inject all of the marinade into the pork.Try not to puncture the skin underneath. I like to go in from the side to make sure I'm not puncturing the skin. Just try to inject as many spots as you can to really get the marinade throughout the entire pork. (If you feel like you've maxed out on the inside of the pork, just take any left over marinade and rub it all over the outside of the pork)
  • Cover the pork with foil as tightly as you can to create a seal. Refrigerate overnight or at least for 6 hours. (I prefer overnight but 6 hours will do if you're shorter on time.)
  • After marinating, heat your oven to 275. Once heated, add the covered pork and cook for 7 hours.
  • After the 7 hours, uncover the pork. It should be falling off the bone easily at this point. You can pull at it with a fork to check.
  • Keeping the pork uncovered, set your oven to broil. Broil the top of the pork for about 5 minutes or until it has a nice golden brown color. Using oven mitts and tongs, carefully turn the pork skin side up, and broil the skin side for another 5 minutes or until it's crispy on the top.
  • Let the pork rest for 15 minutes before shredding.

CUBAN ROAST PORK RECIPE



Cuban Roast Pork Recipe image

Sweet and succulent, a Cuban roast pork is the perfect centerpiece for a celebratory feast or juicy filling for a Cubano sandwich.

Provided by Leah Maroney

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 8h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
2 to 3 pound pork loin (boneless, center cut)

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients. If your pork loin isn't wrapped in string you can choose to do so. It also works without the string.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, oregano, cumin, paprika, brown sugar, garlic, orange juice, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Add the pork loin to the marinade. You can do this in a large plastic bag or in a large bowl, covered with plastic wrap. Place the pork in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, but ideally overnight. Turn the pork once if you can if it is in a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Add the pork loin to your roasting pan rack fat side up. Place the rack in the middle position of the oven. Put the roasting pan in the oven and bake for about an hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the roast.
  • Allow the roast to rest for about 10 minutes. Remove the strings if they were in place.
  • Cut the roast into round. You can decide what thickness you want. If you are using it for a sandwich, then cut them on the thinner side.
  • Serve the roast pork with your favorite Cuban sides like rice and beans or plantains, or use slices in a Cubano or medianoche sandwich.

CUBAN PORK ROAST I



Cuban Pork Roast I image

Black beans and rice are the logical accompaniment to this hearty pork roast. A salad of orange slices, red onion and arugula dressed with a tangy cilantro vinaigrette would be refreshing. If there are any leftovers, make media noches, the Cuban sandwiches that are made with Swiss cheese, ham and toasted egg bread in addition to roast pork.

CUBAN ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Cuban Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 17

PORK MASH:
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon light rum (optional)
Zest of 1 orange, minced
1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin and coriander
1 pork tenderloin (1 1/4-pounds) trimmed and seasoned with salt & black pepper
VEGETABLES
2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon each light rum and fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon each salt, pepper and cumin
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and evenly cubed (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
1 large red onion, halved and each half cut into 6 wedges
NOTE: Don't cut the potatoes too large, because they will have a short roasting time
Fresh cilantro, chopped, optional garnish
Fresh lime wedges, optional garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. You will need an oven-proof skillet; I use my cast-iron skillet Pork: Mash garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt to a paste. Add brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rum, zest, and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and coriander; rub into pork. Vegetables: Combine 1 tablespoon oil, the rum and orange juice and toss with the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss with the sweet potatoes and onion. Set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet (if you don't own one, use a heavy bottomed oven proof skillet) over medium high. Sear pork on one side until browned. Flip the pork and arrange the sweet potatoes and onion around it. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 145F-150°F and sweet potatoes are fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. If desired, garnish the vegetables with some fresh cilantro. Let pork rest, then slice and serve. Tasting notes: I drizzled a little extra olive oil to the sweet potatoes in the last five minutes of roasting time, as they looked a bit dry. I also tossed them, a bit, for more even roasting. I added a squeeze of fresh lime to the pork, which added a little extra "zip" and some more Cuban flavors.

Time 8h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the Mojo:
8 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons (8g) ground cumin
2 teaspoons (8g) freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (about 1 small handful) minced fresh oregano leaves
1/2 cup (120ml) fresh juice from 1 to 2 oranges (see Note)
1/4 cup (60ml) fresh juice from 3 to 4 limes (see Note)
1/4 cup (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
For the Pork and to Finish:
1 (6-8 pound; 3-3.5kg) boneless pork shoulder roast, rind removed
1/4 cup (about 1 small handful) finely chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons (about 3 very large pinches) finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Lime wedges, for serving
Steamed rice, black beans , and maduros , for serving

  • For the Mojo: Combine garlic, cumin, pepper, oregano, orange juice, lime juice, and olive oil in a large bowl and whisk. Season to taste generously with salt. Transfer half of mojo to a sealed container and reserve in refrigerator. Add pork to remaining mojo and turn to coat. If desired, transfer pork and marinade to a gallon-sized zipper-lock bag and refrigerate 2 hours or up to overnight before continuing.
