Cuban-Style Roast Pork

Make Cuban sandwiches out of the leftovers.

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, center-cut pork loin roast
1/2 cup EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, minced to a paste
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lime juice
1 large onion, minced

Yields: 4 servings

Preparation

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO. Add garlic, salt, oregano, orange juice, lime juice and onion, and whisk until heated through.

Pierce pork roast as many times as you can with a sharp knife or fork. Pour marinade mixture (reserving a little for roasting) over pork, cover and let sit in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

Using a suitable roasting pan or rack, sprinkle remaining marinade over pork and cook uncovered at 325°F. Roast until completely cooked (140-145°F internal temperature), about 40 minutes, basting occasionally.

Bring pan juices to a boil and simmer until the juice is reduced by half. Sprinkle some juice onto the pork when you put it in the Cuban sandwiches.
