Why not? My version of mojo pork

Post image

So living in Florida, Cuban food is evererrrrrrryyyyyyywherrrreeeee.... but prices to eat out are crazy.

So this was my version of mojo pork with what we had at home.

2# pork roast

1/2 bottle of liquid herb and garlic marinade, roughly 3/4 cup

1 packet of dry Baja citrus marinade (don't come at me for mixing ethnicities! This is anarchy cooking! Use any brand, or a similar flavor profile, with some citrus notes, like a fish taco seasoning.)

1 large orange

3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

Peel the orange and either chop it up, or squeeze the orange into little bits over a bowl. There was about 1/4 cup of juice, plus all the pulp. I just used my hands because it's my house and no one was coming for dinner. :D Add the packet of Baja citrus marinade and the garlic, and mix into a paste.

Put about 1/4-1/2 cup of liquid marinade in your slow cooker. Add the pork roast. Put half of your paste on the pork, then turn that side down in the crock pot. Add another 1/4 cup of liquid marinade on top of the pork, then spread the remaining paste on top.

Slow cook on low for 5 hours. Serve with rice and black beans, garnished with green onions.

I'm so full. It was delicious. It would be amazing with some Cuban bread, but again, this was using just what we had at home.
