Cuban-Style Roast Pork

Entree 11 Hr. 20 Mins.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast

Instructions

  • Grind garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and coriander into a paste using a mortar and pestle.
  • Transfer 1/2 of the paste to a bowl. Add lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, and vinegar and whisk until smooth.
  • Cut several deep, 1-inch-long slits into the fatty side of the pork roast. Rub the remaining paste into the slits. Put roast into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Pour citrus mixture into the bag to coat roast, then squeeze as much air from the bag as possible and seal. Refrigerate, turning occasionally, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove pork roast from refrigerator, transfer to a roasting pan, and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Roast pork in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue cooking until no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).
