Cuban Pork with Mojo Oven Recipe! Ideal for Pull-Pork & Cubano Sandwiches
Serious Mealtimes / Diana Chistruga
The first time I cooked a Cuban-style pork shoulder I knew next to nothing about the basics of slow-cooked meat or the recipe itself other than the basic flavors so I went by feel. I was at my friend Deborah Krasner’s house in Vermont years before she wrote the great sustainable meat manifesto Good Meat . We had a wood-fired pizza oven cooling down from the night before and a good local pork shoulder. I rubbed the shoulder with a marinade of garlic oregano cumin and lemon juice then threw it in the oven and watched it until it reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
What came out of the oven had a glistening charred crispy crust so I was hopeful. But as soon as I started cutting I knew I had made a huge miscalculation. The stuff was rubbery to the point that it was nearly impossible to cut even with the sharpest knife we had. It went back into the oven to slow roast overnight and we had eggs for dinner.
