Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 lbs pork shoulder bone-in or boneless
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Place the pork in a large resealable bag or a deep dish and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the meat, ensuring it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Reserve the marinade for basting.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and roast for 3 hours.
- Remove the foil, baste the pork with the reserved marinade, and continue roasting uncovered for another 1-1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before shredding. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
