Slow Cooker Cuban Pork

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, this recipe is amazing, especially on the second day on a Cubano sandwich!

Ingredients

  • 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 (5 pound) boneless pork loin, trimmed and silver skin removed
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps

  1. Add orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and peppercorns to a slow cooker. Add onion.
  2. Cut pork loin into 3 equal pieces.
  3. Mix together garlic, 2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and oregano in a small bowl until a paste forms; rub all over pork pieces. Place pork in juice mixture in the slow cooker.
  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.
