Time 4h10m

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Meyer lemons, juiced
2 limes, juiced
2 blood oranges, juiced
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3/4 cup annatto oil reserved from Arroz Con Pollo Bites recipe
1 (15 to 20-pound) suckling pig
Special Equipment: 1 Caja China roasting box
1 (9 to 10-pound) picnic pork shoulder
1 batch citrus mojo marinade less 1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Citrus Mojo:
  • Combine all of the mojo ingredients in a large bowl and whisk well.
  • Score the skin with a sharp knife and rub the pig inside and out with 3/4 of the mojo marinade. Reserve the remaining mojo to pour over the meat after it has been carved.
  • Cook the whole pig in the Caja China according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Score the skin of the pork shoulder. Put it into a large bowl or baking dish and pour in 3/4 of the marinade, making sure to coat the entire piece of pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  • Put the pork shoulder, skin side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack, Cover with foil and roast in the oven for 3 hours. After 3 hours remove the foil, turn the heat up to 425 degrees F and roast until the skin is brown and crispy, about 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to check every 5 or 10 minutes to make sure the skin does not burn. Remove from oven to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Carve the meat and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the reserved marinade over the carved meat just before serving.

I found the marinade to be a bit too salty, but the pork itself was delicious.

This roasted pork with citrus mojo marinade was an absolute delight! The citrus marinade infused the pork with a vibrant and tangy flavor, while the roasting process rendered it fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables
