Description:
Like being in Miami, this Cuban Pork Dish is flavorful and certainly classic when accompanied by black beans. Use left-overs for pressed Cuban sandwiches!
Ingredients:
2 tbs ground cumin
2 tbs black pepper
2 tbs garlic, granulated
2 tbs salt
2 tbs dried oregano
2 tbs Spanish paprika
juice of 1/2 orange
zest of 1 orange
bunch cilantro stems
3 tbs olive oil
4 pounds pork shoulder
Directions:
1. Combine dried ingredients with zest orange juice and olive oil, mix well to form a wet paste.
2. Rub this paste all over the roast.
3. Place in covered dutch over or roasting dish with 1 cup water.
4. Cook in moderate over…say 225-300 for 3- 4 hours or until extremely tender.
5. Serve with rice and beans.
Chef’s Note: Crumbled bacon and sliced Manzanillo Spanish olives are great on top!

awesome recipe. I wonder if i could do this for pork chops since I cook for just 2.
you could flavor them the same way…just broil them after they marinade

A Cuban friend told me that instead of saffron which is very scarce and expensive, they use turmeric. What's your advise?
that is fine…will not give as much flavor..but given the cost of saffron…the turmeric will work well..and give a nice color…

PS put some in the rice….if you serve it alongsidet he pork..makes it look beautiful
I loved it. But I thought it had too much salt. Did I read the recipe correctly? 2 tablespoons?
Fell off the bone and was delicious.
that is right..but for a HUGE pork roast…….4 lbs…
