Tender Cuban-style mojo pork roast with zesty orange and lime marinade, cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (4 pound) pork butt roast
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.75 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
  • 6 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 2 oranges, zested
  • 1 lime, zested
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions:
  • Score the pork fat in a crosshatch pattern about 1/8 inch deep. Season generously with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  • In a large resealable bag, mix together orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, orange zest, lime zest, bay leaves, oregano, and cumin. Add pork butt and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, turning the bag occasionally to coat the roast evenly with the marinade.
  • Add the roast and marinade to the slow cooker. Let it cook on Low until the meat is tender and easily pierced with a fork, which should take about 7 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack 6 inches away from the heat source.
  • Place the pork in a roasting pan, ensuring the fat side is facing upwards. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy and lightly browned.
