Cuban Pork

Instructions
Prep:2hCook:2h 30min
Cuban Pork is a fabulous way to prepare pork and we hope that you enjoy our humble rendition of this classic Cuban pork roast. In this recipe we use our pantry essential Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste to give a smoky and spicy twist to this favourite family dish. In order to make good Cuban pork, we think that the trick is in the marinade, known as “Mojo”. The Cuban pork mojo is a mixture of garlic, citrus, and spices. It serves two purposes: 1) to give flavour, and 2) it helps to form a tasty crust on the outside of your meat once it’s roasted. That gorgeous bark on the outside of the pork is what it’s all about. Once ready, the Cuban pork is served with a sauce made with the leftover mojo, and drippings that have been reduced a bit to mellow down the flavours. Then we like to add fresh mint and coriander. The classic sides you can’t forget about when making a Cuban pork recipe are steamed white rice, black beans, and last but not least fried plantains or tostones as they are known. We used plantain chips for this version, but if you’re looking to serve a more traditional Cuban meal, we recommend trying to make your own fried plantains to serve with the dish. We also recommend serving Cuban pork recipes with some Black Beans and Rice or Lime and Coriander Rice.
