This is from an authentic Cuban recipe site, although I couldn’t tell you how “authentic” it is, considering I have never been to Cuba.
Serve with black beans and rice. Authentic or not, however, this recipe is amazing, especially the second day on a Cubano sandwich!
Ingredients
- 1 (5 pound) boneless pork loin, trimmed and silver skin removed
- 1 cup orange juice (such as Simply®)
- ½ cup lime juice
- ½ cup lemon juice
- 14 whole black peppercorns
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 head garlic, peeled and pressed
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Cut pork loin into 3 equal pieces.
Step 2
Turn a slow cooker to Low. Add orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and peppercorns, then add onion.
Step 3
Mix garlic, salt, and oregano into a paste and rub all over pork pieces. Place pork in the slow cooker.
Step 4
Cook on Low until pork is slightly pink in the center, 9 to 10 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Pull apart meat with 2 forks and let sit for 1 hour before serving.
Cook’s Note:
I chose to use loin instead of tenderloin because the flavor turned out better, and it was more tender.
