Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
¼ cup orange juice, fresh
¼ cup grapefruit juice, fresh
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup long-grain rice
½ orange, grated zest
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Using thin knife, trim silver skin from tenderloin. Mix orange juice, grapefruit juice, cilantro, cumin, oregano, garlic, salt, and hot pepper in gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag. Add pork, close, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, make Rice and Black Bean Salad.
  • Prepare outdoor grill for direct medium-hot grilling. For a gas grill, preheat grill on high. Adjust temperature to 400°F. For a charcoal grill, build fire and let burn until coals are covered with white ash. Spread coals and let burn for 15-20 minutes.
  • Lightly oil cooking grate. Remove pork from marinade, drain briefly, but do not scrape off solids. Place on grill and cover grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and instant-read thermometer inserted in center of pork reads 145°F, about 20-27 minutes. Transfer to carving board and let stand 3-5 minutes. Cut on slight diagonal and serve with rice and black bean salad.
  • Rice and Black Bean Salad:
  • To make salad, bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rice and cook (like pasta) until tender, about 16 minutes. Drain in wire sieve, rinse under cold water, and let cool.
  • In medium bowl, whisk orange zest and 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Whisk in oil. Add cooled rice, black beans, scallions and cilantro, and mix. Let stand at room temperature for up to 4 hours. (If refrigerated, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving, or rice will be hard.)

Cuban mojo roast leg of pork with rice and beans image

Check out this hearty, slow-cooked Cuban pork recipe with flavoursome rice and beans. This easy zingy pork will soon become a firm family favourite

Provided by Amanda James

Categories     Dinner

Time 4h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 27

2.5kg boned and rolled leg of pork, skin scored
2 onions, thickly sliced
1 tbsp vegetable oil
sea salt flakes
a bunch coriander, leaves picked to serve
3 Little Gems, cut into chunky pieces and tossed with the juice of 2 limes
8 cloves garlic, chopped
a small bunch coriander, leaves picked
a small bunch mint, leaves picked
3 bay leaves, crushed
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
1 tsp sea salt
ground to make 1 tsp black peppercorns
4 oranges, zested and juiced
4 limes, zested and juiced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
½ tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
300g basmati rice
400g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
600ml chicken stock

Steps:

  • Put all of the ingredients for the marinade into a food processor and whizz until smooth. Put the pork into a dish, pour in the marinade, rub it into the surface of the meat but avoid the skin. Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight. Remove from the fridge an hour before cooking.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put the pork into a roasting tray skin-side up on top of the sliced onions. Pour any marinade into the tray around the pork with 200ml of water, drizzle the oil over the skin, season generously with sea salt flakes and cook for 45 minutes or until the skin is starting to crisp.
  • Reduce the heat to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 and cook the pork for 3 hours until meltingly tender. If there isn't crackling after this time, turn the heat back up to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and cook until crisp. Remove the pork to a plate, cover with foil and rest for 30 minutes. Pour the sauce from the tray into a jug, skim the fat, then pour into a small pan to keep warm.
  • For the rice and beans, heat the olive oil in a pan and add the onion and green pepper with some seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes until soft, then add the garlic, thyme and dried oregano, and cook for a minute. Add the red wine vinegar, rice and beans, and stir until fully coated in the oil. Pour in the stock, cover with a lid and cook over a medium heat for 12 minutes - the stock should evaporate and the bottom of the rice will get slightly crispy.
  • Serve the pork shredded into big pieces with the rice, sauce, scattered with coriander and the Little Gems dressed with lime juice.

CUBAN-STYLE PORK SHOULDER RECIPE



Cuban-style pork shoulder Recipe image

Fans affectionately refer to them with names like "recession-fighting machines" and "crackpots." They call themselves "crockpotters" and wax poetic with a fervor normally reserved for religion, politics or love. "My entire family life revolves around the Crock-Pot," says one. "I have not only embraced the Crock-Pot but am making out with it."Welcome to the slow-cooker movement. The new slow-cooker movement.For many, it's all about the convenience. A reluctant convert, Jane Park now rattles off a list of advantages: "I like that the house smells good all afternoon. I like that it eliminates the 5 o'clock panic of, 'Oh, my gosh, what am I going to throw together for dinner?' I like that I can make enough at a time to have leftovers. I like that the cheaper cuts of meat often work best."Others, like Goodwin Liu, love the potential. His expertise includes constitutional law and education policy, but in his spare time the associate dean and professor of law at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall likes to experiment with his slow cooker. A favorite discovery? Sweet potatoes. "I like to cook sweet potatoes over low heat -- they come out to a lovely mash."No, we're not talking about your mother's slow cooker here. Or her recipes. Forget the harvest gold floral patterns -- there are stainless-steel models out there that could be mistaken for mini-Hummers without the wheels (and they're all electric).And while stew may be fine, have you ever tried meltingly tender Cuban-marinated pork shoulder? How about a colorful lamb tagine, the fragrant aromas of cinnamon, honey and dried fruit perfuming your house all afternoon? Let's not forget dessert -- perhaps some white-chocolate bread pudding? (You can cook up a quick whiskey caramel sauce while the pudding quietly bakes away on the counter.) It just takes a little know-how and patience.Good -- and convenient -- things really can come to those who wait.Crock-Pot 'chic'It all started with the Crock-Pot. Rival introduced the slow cooker to the market with the Crock-Pot brand in 1971. Almost overnight, the Crock-Pot enjoyed a popularity matched only by the fondue pot and defined a certain kind of culinary "chic" for the decade.It "cooks all day while the cook's away," one 1976 advertisement declared. The Crock-Pot promised complete meals, cooked slowly over long periods of time, costing mere pennies to operate and requiring little, if any, supervision. Rival posted Crock-Pot sales of $2 million its first year on the market, and sales peaked at $93 million after just four years. Inevitably, it wasn't long before competitors jumped on the bandwagon and flooded the market. By the end of the 1970s, sales of slow cookers, including the Crock-Pot, decreased dramatically.Of course, the slow cooker also had its detractors -- and most complaints were about the food. Many thought everything tasted the same no matter what was in the pot. Others claimed the food dried out despite the closed cooking environment (the lid should prevent moisture from escaping). Some complained about the lack of flavor, others about the lack of visual appeal. Still others said the slow cooker just made mush.Andrew Schloss, author of the new "Art of the Slow Cooker: 80 Exciting New Recipes," says quality wasn't really a consideration with many of the early recipes. "Earlier recipes were so much about convenience that a lot of the food wasn't that good. Convenience started to trump quality."People liked the convenience of the slow cooker, they just didn't necessarily like what had been cooked in them. Recipes began to evolve -- slowly -- as interest in the slow cooker grew once again over the last several years. And the cookers evolved too, with manufacturers offering different sizes and inserts (some that allow for conventional stove-top cooking) as well as offering programmable timers, "smart" settings and digital probes. Slow cookers improved cosmetically too.Today, about 83% of American households own a slow cooker, according to the NPD Group, a leading marketing research firm. Of these households, almost half used a slow cooker within the past month.Stephanie O'Dea blogged about using her slow cooker every day last year. Also known as the "Crockpot Lady," her adventures (crockpot365. blogspot.com) were a hit, landing her a spot on the "Rachael Ray" show and spawning a cookbook, due out this fall. She believes the slow-cooker resurgence has a lot to do with the economy. "With the recession, people have realized they need to make real food at home."O'Dea, an avowed non-cook, liked the idea. "[Traditional cooking] is much more fast-paced and you run the risk of burning or doing something wrong. I wanted something simple, not too hard." When she started slow-cooking, the meals were simple, mostly soups and stews.But as the year progressed, she found herself taking on more and more complicated recipes, including falafel, tamales and even a delicate chocolate mousse. "There are so many things you can do with a Crock-Pot that you may not think of."Schloss agrees. The key, he says, is "using the machine to its advantage. It does some things well, and you should emphasize those things."A meat tenderizerThe obvious advantage to a slow cooker is the long, slow cooking process. Start with a recipe that complements this process, keeping in mind that tough, inexpensive cuts of meat are often perfect. The long, slow cooking process tenderizes the fat and connective tissue in the meat to a buttery texture.For that Cuban pork, bone a picnic shoulder and remove the skin and outer fat. Cut the meat into large cubes -- don't cook a single large piece of meat in a slow cooker because the length of time it takes to cook through could render it unsafe to eat. Then season them and place them on a bed of sliced onions. Add a little broth, start the cooker and let it go. Serve the pork with black beans and rice one night, then use the leftovers as part of another meal (salad, burritos, etc.).To add another layer of flavor, take a few extra minutes to brown the meat, and add ingredients in stages to maximize their potential. Making lamb tagine, for example, you could just throw everything in the slow cooker and forget about it. But the dish will be better if you take a little time. Start by browning the meat. Season the lamb pieces and saute them quickly -- this toasts the spices on the meat and will add richness and color to the dish (a lot of slow cookers now come with stove-top-safe inserts so you can brown and cook in the same pot, minimizing dirty dishes). Then, throw almost everything in the pot and let it go. About an hour or two before you're ready, toss some dried dates on top of the mix. They'll cook just long enough to soften but won't turn to mush.Perhaps the most important thing is just getting to know your slow cooker. Many models today heat more quickly than in the past (a recipe written 20 years ago calling for eight hours of cooking time might be done in six with one of today's models), and because there's no industry standard with respect to heat, the "high" and "low" temperature settings vary -- sometimes dramatically -- between makes and models.O'Dea recommends starting with the recipes in the booklet that comes with the unit -- generally they've been well-tested for that particular machine. Master them, then play around.And consider the possibilities. A slow cooker can make a perfect "second" oven, freeing the main oven for the main course or other dishes when company's expected. It's also perfect for summer cooking -- use the cooker instead of an oven to keep the kitchen cool.Finally, consider the slow cooker for desserts -- the low, consistent heat is perfect for dense cakes, crumbles and even custards. Try it with bread pudding: Assemble and bake the pudding in the slow cooker, then serve as is or put it in a hot oven for 10 or 15 minutes -- the custard will souffle and get a wonderful crunchy crust. Serve it with a warm caramel sauce for an easy dessert.And maybe you've got an old fondue pot in the garage that you can use to keep the caramel sauce warm. Tres chic.

INSTANT-POT MOJO PORK



Instant-Pot Mojo Pork image

In Cuba, lechon asado (roast pork) is marinated in mojo, a citrus-herb sauce. In this Instant-Pot pork recipe, the pressure cooker infuses similar flavor into pork shoulder. No pressure cooker? Braise the meat in a large pot in a 300 degrees F oven for 4 to 5 hours.

PORK CARNITAS - SLOW COOKER



Pork Carnitas - Slow Cooker image

Seasoned perfectly and slow cooked until the meat shreds effortlessly, Pork Carnitas is so flavorful and marvelous served so many different ways!

Provided by Amy

Categories     Main Course

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 small sweet onion (, sliced thin)
6 cloves garlic (, peeled and smashed)
1 bay leaf
3 pound boneless pork shoulder roast
homemade tortillas (, for serving)
cilantro lime rice (, for serving)
pickled red onions (, for serving)
pice de gallo (, for serving)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, salt, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, and pepper.
  • Make slits in the pork with a paring knife and rub liberally all over with the oil mixture.
  • Place pork in the slow cooker, along with the onion, garlic, and bay leaf. Pour the remaining juices from the bowl over the pork.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until an internal temperature of 202 degrees F is reached.
  • Transfer pork to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Using tongs or forks, shred into thick chunks.
  • You can enjoy as is or take it a step further by crisping it up in a pan, which is recommended!
  • To pan fry: warm a tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid over-crowding, spread the pork in the pan in an even layer, drizzling with some of the juices. Once the juice evaporates and the bottom of the pork is golden and crispy, sear it quickly on the other side and then remove from the skillet. You want it browned all over, but not dry.
  • Serve as desired. You can't go wrong with any of our suggestions!
  • Note: If f you have time and can remember, I do recommend marinating the pork overnight, for even more incredible flavor. Combine everything in the slow cooker the night before then place it in the fridge (the insert, not the base). Take it out in the morning and let it warm slightly, then set it to cook.
  • Note: More serving suggestions, storage, tips, and alternative cooking methods are included in the full article.
