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.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons cumin seeds
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
⅓ cup orange juice
⅓ cup dry sherry
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed and tied

Steps:

  • Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and peppercorns to the pan; stir constantly until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Cool.
  • Using a mortar and pestle, crush toasted spices with garlic, salt, and oregano to make a paste. You can also do this in the small bowl of a food processor. Transfer to a small bowl, and stir in orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, sherry, and olive oil.
  • Place the pork in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour citrus marinade over meat, and seal. Refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, turning the bag over occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Transfer pork and marinade to a roasting pan, and place in the oven. Roast for about 2 1/2 hours, basting with pan juices occasionally, or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Add small amounts of water to the pan if it dries out. Transfer the pork to a carving board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve, and serve.

JUICY CUBAN MOJO PORK ROAST (CHEF MOVIE RECIPE)



Juicy Cuban Mojo Pork Roast (Chef Movie recipe) image

This is the Mojo Marinated Roast Pork from the John Favreau movie "Chef". The recipe was created by rock star LA chef Roy Choi. The flavours of the marinade are classic Cuban, citrusy and strong. It infuses into the pork incredibly well. I made this with boneless pork shoulder because I made it specifically with the intention of using leftovers to make Cubanos (Cuban sandwiches) and boneless is easier to slice. But it can also be made with bone-in pork (add 0.5kg/1lb to the pork weight). This roast is extremely tender though is still suited to carving rather than "pulling apart" with tongs - though I also provide the cook times for a pulled Cuban pork option!

Categories     Pork     Roast

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup cilantro / coriander, (lightly packed)
1 tbsp orange zest
3/4 cup orange juice, (fresh)
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup mint leaves, (lightly packed)
8 garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, (packed (or 1/2 tbsp dried oregano))
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 lb / 2 kg pork shoulder / pork butt, (skinless and boneless (not loin or leg roast, will dry out))
2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine Marinade ingredients in a food processor and blend until the herbs and garlic are finely chopped. Alternatively, you can finely chop/mince the garlic and herbs then mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Place in a large ziplock bag with the pork. Place in the fridge overnight (in a bowl, just to be safe).
  • Remove the pork from the Marinade and leave on counter for 1 hour (bring to room temp). Reserve the Marinade.
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F (200°C fan).
  • Roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Base with pan juices.
  • Reduce heat to 190°C/375°F (170°C). Roast for another 1 1/2 - 2 hours, basting every half hour, until the internal temperature reaches 70°/160°F. At this temperature, the pork is cooked, still juicy, and carvable, as it is intended to be (Note 1)
  • Fall-apart tender alternative (not slicable, meat falls apart): Roast at 160°C/320°F (all oven types) for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat can be easily shredded using 2 forks (check on side).
  • Remove from the oven and place on a plate, loosely covered with foil. Rest for 20 minutes before serving with the Mojo Sauce on the side. I decorated mine with pan fried slices of oranges and extra cilantro/coriander leaves.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon orange zest
3/4 cup fresh orange juice

1 tablespoon minced oregano (2 teaspoons dried oregano)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and pepper
3 & 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder (in one piece*)

CUBAN-STYLE PORK ROAST



Cuban-Style Pork Roast image

Pork shoulder is an inexpensive cut of meat, and since it cooks slowly at a low temperature, it is also relatively hands-off.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 garlic cloves, peeled
4 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (from about 5 sprigs), or 2 teapsoons dried oregano
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 whole limes, cut in pieces
1 tablespoon coarse salt
One 7 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder (also known as pork butt or picnic shoulder)

Steps:

  • Puree garlic, oregano, olive oil, limes, and salt in a blender or food processor.
  • Place meat in a roasting pan, and score the fat on top of the pork. Rub garlic mixture all over pork. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours. Flip roast occasionally and redistribute the rub.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Remove meat from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Place pan in the oven, fat side up, and add 1 cup of water to pan. Roast, uncovered, occasionally basting meat with juices and rub and turning pan to promote even cooking. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, until meat easily shreds. Let rest for 15 minutes, then shred and serve.

CUBAN-STYLE ROAST PORK



Cuban-Style Roast Pork image

Cuban-style roast pork is marinated in a garlicky-citrus mojo sauce to deliver flavorful, succulent meat. Cuban pork is easy to make, and the best part is you can use the leftovers to make Cuban sandwiches. Go ahead-wow your family two nights in a row!

Provided by Marta Rivera

Categories     Dinner     Freezer-friendly     How To     Make-ahead

Time 3h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

6-8 pound bone-in Boston butt or pork shoulder
For the mojo marinade:
1 head garlic (about 10 cloves), peeled
1 large white onion, roughly chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup grapefruit juice, from 1 medium grapefruit
3/4 cup fresh lime juice, from about 8 limes
1/2 cup fresh orange juice, from 1 medium orange
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch, to finish the mojo sauce

Steps:

  • Transfer to the refrigerator: Marinate the pork for 4-12 hours in the refrigerator. If the pork is not fully covered in the marinade, turn it over during the marinating time to make sure it's getting all it can from the mojo. Because I usually begin marinating my pork roast the evening before cooking it, I usually turn it in the morning after it's marinated overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F
  • Rest the meat: When the roast is ready, remove it from the oven. The top will be beautifully caramelized from the sugars and the aromatics that were in the mojo. Loosely cover the roast with a large piece of aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes while you heat the reserved 1 1/2 cups of mojo sauce. Mojo is pungent and can be overwhelming in its raw form. To serve it as a sauce, it's best to cook it to soften the harshness a bit.
  • Make a slurry: In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon from the reserved mojo and stir together until no lumps of cornstarch remain.
  • Serve the roast pork and sauce: After the pork has rested, which allows the juices to settle down and not run everywhere when you cut it, use a carving knife to slice the roast. Serve it with a side of rice and beans and plantains. Pour the sauce over the sliced portions of pork after serving. LEFTOVERS! Leftovers may be refrigerated for 2-3 days and reheated in the microwave or, my favorite way, by lightly sautéing in a skillet with a bit of mojo sauce until warmed through. Any leftover mojo sauce should be covered and stored in the refrigerator.

CUBAN ROAST PULLED PORK



Cuban Roast Pulled Pork image

This is a recipe I found in my "The Complete Meat Cookbook" by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly that I combined with a recipe posted by Closetcooking,com. Posting for ZWT event so untried by me, but sounds like something we would enjoy. Depending on the type of roast you use, servings will vary, but I put 6-8 based on a small roast. Times don't include overnight marinating time.

Provided by diner524

Categories     Pork

Time 5h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 -5 lbs pork shoulder (or large Boston Butt Roast with bone in, skin on)
2 tablespoons garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, sliced
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon oregano, dried (or 1 tbl fresh)
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup chicken stock (or water)

Steps:

  • Directions (Oven Version with Crackling):.
  • Puree the garlic, onion, orange juice, lime juice, rum, olive oil, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender, place 2/3 of the mixture into a large sealable bag with the pork and marinate in the fridge overnight.
  • Pull the pork out of the fridge 1 hour before roasting, take it out of the bag, set it with its skin side up, wipe the skin dry and let sit for 1 hour.
  • Score the skin in 1/2 inch intervals and rub salt generously into the skin.
  • Place the pork in a roasting pan, skin side up, roast in a preheated 450F oven for 20 minutes or until the skin has become crackling, ie it has become golden, hardened and crispy.
  • Reduce the heat to 325F and roast until the pork reaches 170F for slicing or 195F for shredding, about 2-3 hours or 4-6 hours respectively. If the skin starts to get too dark tent it loosely with foil without folding the edges over to prevent steaming.
  • Let the pork rest for 15 minutes, remove crackling and cut into small pieces, discard any extra fat and then slice or shred the pork. Remove the fat from the juices and serve with sliced pork or mix into shredded pork.
  • Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons of the juices from the roasting pan in a pan over medium-high heat, add the onion and saute until tender and caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Serve the pork with the caramelized onions and remaining mojo.
  • Directions (Slow Cooker Version):.
  • Puree the garlic, onion, orange juice, lime juice, rum, olive oil, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender, place 2/3 of the mixture into a large sealable bag with the pork and marinate in the fridge overnight.
  • Place the pork in a slow cooker/crock-pot with the skin side up along with the marinade and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Let the pork rest for 15 minutes, discard the fat layer and then shred the pork.
  • Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons of the juices from the slow cooker/crock-pot in a pan over medium-high heat, add the onion and saute until tender and caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Serve the pork with the caramelized onions and remaining mojo.
  • Tip: Mix some mojo into the pork after pulling it; man is that mojo ever good! Make sure to make enough pork to make Cuban Sandwiches with leftovers!

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-STYLE ROAST PORK SHOULDER WITH MOJO RECIPE



Cuban-Style Roast Pork Shoulder With Mojo Recipe image

Cuban mojo-marinated roast pork should be juicy, succulent, intensely porky, and melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     Mains

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • For the Pork and to Finish: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 275°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place pork and juices on top and fold up foil, crimping to seal loosely but making sure that there is room for air to circulate inside. Place in oven and roast for 3 hours. Fold back foil, increase oven temperature to 325°F, and continue roasting, basting pork with pan juices occasionally, until pork shows almost no resistance when a metal skewer or knife is inserted into it and the surface is crackly and brown, 2 to 3 hours longer. Remove pork from oven and let rest 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour accumulated pork juices into a bowl and discard all except 1 cup. Add reserved mojo to pork drippings, along with fresh chopped mint and oregano. Whisk together and season to taste with salt.

CUBAN ROAST PORK, PERNIL O PIERNA ASADA ESTILO CUBANO



Cuban Roast Pork, Pernil O Pierna Asada Estilo Cubano image

Goodness, this recipe brought back wonderful memories of eating Cuban food while visiting Florida years ago! We chose to use lime juice and it tasted spectacular. We will definitely be serving this for special dinners in the future!

Provided by Juliann Esquivel

Categories     Roasts

Time 5h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large 4 or 5 pound pork roast shoulder or fresh ham (ham that is not cured or smoked or cooked)
2 c sour orange or fresh lime or lemon juice
1 large bay leaf
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp cumin powder
2 Tbsp salt and 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
20 clove fresh garlic peeled, cloves can be left whole
cuban mojo sauce
2 large onions sliced in thin rounds
1/2 c roast pork pan drippings
1/2 c reserved garlic and lime sauce mixture

Steps:

  • 1. Buy a nice large pork shoulder or fresh ham try to buy with the skin on the fresh ham. I am doubtful you will find a pork shoulder with the skin on it but you can try.
  • 2. THE NIGHT BEFORE: Take your pork shoulder or fresh ham and stab it all over making deep stabbings in the meat all over the roast. Next, take your salt and pour about two tablespoons full in your hands and rub deep all over the pork roast or fresh ham sticking your fingers in the deep stabbed holes to penetrate the salt well into the meat. Do this all around the fresh ham. You will need about 2 tablespoons of salt altogether. If it is a very large fresh ham you might need as much as three tablespoons of salt. Rubbing deep into the meat all over and into the holes made with a sharp knife. Please be careful with the knife when stabbing the pork so as to not cut yourself. Make sure your hands are dry as well as the handle of the knife when stapping the pork. You do not want your hand to slide down onto the sharp blade as I have seen happen when stabbing the pork.
  • 3. After salting put the pork to a side. In a blender add the lime/lemon or sour oange juice, garlic cloves, and the seasonings bay leaf, cumin powder, oregano, pepper, 1 teaspoon salt. Blend on high until all is liquified.
  • 4. This is your Cuban Mojo, pour one cup of the mojo in a jar cover and reserve for later.
  • 5. Now take your pork roast and pour the rest of the sauce all over the pork roast rubbing the mojo sauce deep into the pork meat in the slits or holes. The secret is to make sure you rub your pork meat roast or fresh ham with all this lime/garlic sauce making sure it is well introduced into the meat.
  • 6. When done sprinkle a little more oregano, cumin, black pepper over the entire roast again just a little sprinkle. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until the next day for roasting.
  • 7. Next day remove pork from the refrigerator let stand on the counter for at least an hour then put into a preheated 325 degree oven.
  • 8. Depending on how large a roast you have roast about 3 to 4 hours or a little more.
  • 9. Pour a half cup of the reserved mojo and baste your roast every hour with some of the mojo.
  • 10. Roast is done when the juices run clear and the meat is tender. Do not cover with aluminum foil to roast. You can tent the roast with aluminum foil but do not crimp the edges all around. You want to roast your pork meat not steam it. I do not even tent mine.
  • 11. If the roast starts to get too brown on top tent it with the foil. Take a large piece of foil and fold in half then put over the roast leaving the sides open, no crimping. A five pound roast can take as long as five or six hours slow roasting. When done remove roast from the oven take out of the pan put into another pan. Let roast hang out for a bit.
  • 12. In your pan there should be lots of pan drippings. Pour them into a frying pan over medium heat and add the onions and fry them in the drippings.
  • 13. Next, take a half cup of the reserved mojo from the refrigerator and pour into the onions sauteing everything for about five minutes. After about 10 minutes slice all of your roast and pour the mojo with onions all over the meat mixing it well into all of the pork meat. Serve with Cuban black beans and white rice. There is another traditional dish served with the pork, rice, and black beans. It is called Yuca (Casava). It is boiled when tender it is served with the pork, black beans, and rice. It looks like boiled potato only it is long and very starchy. It is served with a mojo sauce that is also pored over it but only lemon or lime juice and fresh garlic are used. But that is another recipe. It is a tradition to also include that dish with the Cuban roast pork dinner. Don't forget the Crispy Cuban bread and the Sangria or wine, For dessert pass a delicious flan. Buen Apetito. Enjoy.

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.

  • In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic cloves, salt, peppercorns, onion, oregano, cumin, and olive oil until you get a paste. Set aside.
  • Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan. Grab the thick pork skin and using a knife, gently separate the skin from the pork enough for it to flap over. Do not cut it off completely.
  • Pierce the pork a few times with the knife and pour the mojo marinade over it. Next, rub the garlic paste, evenly, over the pork and then place the skin back down. Cover the entire pork roast with aluminum foil and place in the fridge to marinate for 2-3 hours or overnight. The longer, the better.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the pork from the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature, and pat the skin down with a paper towel before roasting. The dryer the skin, the crispier it will be.

  • In a large bowlor other non-reactive container add the pork shoulder and pour over the marinade and cover it with cling wrap.
  • Ideally you want to use a container that allows the pork to be almost immersed in the marinade. I squished the meat into a large bowl with not a lot of room left on either side of the meat, that meant that the marinade almost covered the pork, which is what you want.
