Pork Shoulder
You can never have too many main course recipes, so give Pork Shoulder Head to the store and pick up olive oil, cilantro, garlic cloves, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the ground cumin you could follow this main course with the Moroccan Chocolate Mousse as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 3 hours and 55 minutes.
Instructions
Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack insert, and using a sharp knife, score the surface of the meat with small slits. Prepare the adobo: In a food processor, add the garlic, oregano, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Add lime juice and orange juice.
Drizzle in olive oil and pulse until you have a nice puree. Rub the marinade all over the pork, being sure to get into the incisions so the salt can penetrate the meat and pull out the moisture - this will help form a crust on the outside when cooked.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Roast the pork for 3 hours, uncovered, until the skin is crispy-brown.
Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing, covered lightly with aluminum foil.
Drizzle with lime juice and garnish with cilantro.
