Cuban Slow Roasted Pork Recipes

SLOW COOKER CUBAN PORK

This is from an authentic Cuban recipe site, although I couldn't tell you how "authentic" it is, considering I have never been to Cuba. Serve with black beans and rice. Authentic or not, however, this recipe is amazing, especially the second day on a Cubano sandwich!

Steps:

Cut pork loin into 3 equal pieces.
Turn a slow cooker to Low. Add orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and peppercorns, then add onion.
Mix garlic, salt, and oregano into a paste and rub all over pork pieces. Place pork in the slow cooker.
Cook on Low until pork is slightly pink in the center, 9 to 10 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Pull apart meat with 2 forks and let sit for 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

Grind garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and coriander into a paste using a mortar and pestle.
Transfer half of the garlic and spice paste to a bowl; add lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, and vinegar. Beat the mixture with a whisk until smooth.
Cut several inch-long, deep slits into the fatty side of the pork roast. Rub the reserved garlic paste into the slits.
Put rubbed roast into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour the liquid mixture over the roast, squeeze as much air from the bag as possible and seal; refrigerate, turning occasionally, 8 hours to overnight.
Remove pork roast from refrigerator, put into a roasting pan, and let warm at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Roast pork in preheated oven for 30 minutes, reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and continue cooking until pork is 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).
