This Roasted Cuban Mojo Pork is marinated in a zesty citrus blend for tender, flavorful meat.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs pork shoulder, bone-in
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 head of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the pork in a resealable bag or dish for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  4. Remove the pork from the marinade, place it in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, cover with foil, and roast for 4 to 5 hours.
  5. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes to crisp the skin, optionally broiling for extra crispiness.
  6. Let the pork rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve sliced pork garnished with cilantro.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate overnight.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
