SLOW COOKER MOJO PORK



Slow Cooker Mojo Pork image

A Cuban-style pork roast marinated and cooked low and slow. Normally bitter oranges are used but they can be hard to find. To make it easy I subbed limes and oranges, using both the juices and the zest. Serve with black beans and white rice for a complete meal. Plan ahead because this roast is marinated from 6 hours to overnight.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
4 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 6-to-8-pound Boston butt pork shoulder
Juice of 6 oranges, peels reserved
Juice of 4 lemons, peels reserved

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 white onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Pulse the garlic, oregano, thyme, coriander and cumin seeds, bay leaves, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor to make a thick paste. Trim off all but a thin layer of fat from the pork, then make deep slits all over the roast (about every 2 inches) with a paring knife. Rub the spice paste over the pork and into the slits.
  • Mix the citrus juices, Worcestershire sauce and olive oil in a large glass bowl. Submerge the pork in the marinade and top with the onions and reserved orange and lemon peels.

Add the marinade to the pan and pile the onions on top of the meat. Cover with foil, lower the oven temperature to 350 and roast 2 more hours. Uncover, place the citrus peels around the pork and continue to roast, basting occasionally, until the meat browns and a thermometer inserted into the bottom half registers 190, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, skim any excess fat from the pan juices. Slice the pork and serve with the onion and pan juices. Garnish with citrus peels.

This crispy, citrusy roast pork will be the star of your dinner table. The pork shoulder is marinated in a Cuban-inspired mojo sauce, baked for hours until tender, then broiled for that crispy, crackly skin. Pro tip: use a sharp knife to score the pork skin.

Categories     Lunch

Time 6h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pork shoulder, bone-in, skin-on
24 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons kosher salt
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh oregano, plus 1 tablespoon, finely chopped, divided
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 oranges, zested
2 limes, zested
2 cups fresh lime juice
1 ½ cups fresh orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) .
  • Using a sharp knife, score the pork skin and fat in a diamond pattern, spacing the cuts ½ inch apart and taking care not to cut into the meat.
  • Combine the garlic and salt in a food processor and pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the olive oil, whole oregano leaves, cumin, and orange and lime zests and process into a smooth paste.
  • Rub the paste all over the pork shoulder, making sure it gets into the scores. Transfer the pork shoulder to a baking dish or a roasting pan and pour the lime and orange juices around the pork. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  • Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers between 180°F (82°C) and 190°F (88°C), 6-7 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Uncover the pork and turn the oven to broil. Return the pork to the oven and broil until the skin puffs and is golden brown and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl. Skim off the fat, if desired. Stir the finely chopped oregano into the sauce.
  • Serve the pork shoulder with the sauce and your favorite side dishes.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron Dutch oven if possible; it will help to evenly distribute heat and brown the pork.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large roasting pan, but you may need to add a little more liquid.
  • Make sure the pork shoulder is completely submerged in the marinade; if it's not, flip it halfway through the marinating time.
  • Don't be afraid to let the pork roast low and slow; the longer it cooks, the more tender it will be.
  • Add the vegetables to the Dutch oven during the last hour of cooking; this will help them to soften and caramelize.
  • Serve the pork with rice, beans, or tortillas, and top it with the lime mojo sauce.

Conclusion:

This Slow Roasted Pork with Lime Mojo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The slow cooking process makes the pork incredibly tender and flavorful, and the lime mojo sauce adds a bright and tangy flavor.
