Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in lower third. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 4 minutes. Add orange and lime juices and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, stir in oregano, and remove from heat.
- Pat pork dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper and place in a heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot (pork should fit snugly). Pour onion mixture on and around pork, leaving some on top. Roast, uncovered, 30 minutes. Remove pot from oven and reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Ladle onion and cooking juices over pork. Cook, uncovered, until cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork should read 155 degrees), 1 1/2 hours, basting pork with onion and juices every 30 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing. To serve, skim fat from cooking juices and spoon sauce over sliced pork.

SPICY CITRUS PORK ROAST (CROCK POT)
This pork roast is a non-traditional twist on Mexican cooking from a book by Judith Finlayson. My husband, who grew up in Mexico, says it is his new favorite recipe! It took about 40 minutes to get this all in the crock pot in the morning, but that included all the roast preparation and vegetable dicing. If you trimmed your roast the night before and sliced the onions, bacon, & peppers, that would save some time in the morning. Serve with rice. We ate leftovers the next day on tortillas with guacamole & lettuce.

Steps:
- Cook bacon until crisp in a skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon pieces from skillet and set aside, leaving fat in skillet.
- In same pan, brown roast on all sides. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Remove all but 1 TB of bacon fat from pan. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and cook, stirring, until slightly wilted.
- Add garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, one more minute.
- Add orange zest, juice, and bananas, and cook, stirring to scrape up any bits stuck to the skillet. Mash bananas into sauce as you stir (but it's OK if some chunks/slices remain - these will disintegrate during the slow cooking).
- Stir in bacon pieces. Pour contents of skillet over pork.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Note that the original recipe indicated that this could be cooked on high for 4-5 hours, but I'm afraid that my slow cooker would burn this due to the high sugar content of the fruit. You can use your judgment based on your knowledge of your slow cooker - I needed to save some time so I started on high for 1 hour and switched to low for 4 1/2 hours and it turned out perfectly.
Tips:
- Use a variety of citrus fruits. Different citrus fruits will give your pork a different flavor profile. For a sweeter pork, use oranges or grapefruit. For a more tart pork, use lemons or limes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, and chili powder.
- Cook the pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the pork with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Roasted pork with onions and citrus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and juicy pork roast that your family and friends will love.
