The city of Havana is no stranger to all the flavors and spices that the Caribbean has to offer, and this pork recipe is no different. Our Havana Pork is marinated in aromatic and delicious "mojo" (a blend of veggies, fruit, and herbs) to give it an authentic taste that's "muy rico!" or "very delicious!"
What You'll Need
- 2 1/2 pound boneless pork butt or shoulder, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 1/2 cup mojo marinade
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- Fresh lime juice for drizzling
What to Do
- In a large bowl, place pork chunks; cover with mojo marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours.
- Drain marinade and sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over high heat, heat oil until hot. Add pork and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until medium or desired doneness, and outside is crispy. Top with cilantro, drizzle with lime juice, and serve.
Notes
- In the Caribbean, Havana Pork would typically be enjoyed over a bed of white rice with a side of fried plantains. Doesn't that sound yummy?
- And if want to make your own Fried Plantains, here's our recipe -- no one will know how simple these are to make!
