JUICY CUBAN MOJO PORK ROAST (CHEF MOVIE RECIPE)



Juicy Cuban Mojo Pork Roast (Chef Movie recipe) image

This is the Mojo Marinated Roast Pork from the John Favreau movie "Chef". The recipe was created by rock star LA chef Roy Choi. The flavours of the marinade are classic Cuban, citrusy and strong. It infuses into the pork incredibly well. I made this with boneless pork shoulder because I made it specifically with the intention of using leftovers to make Cubanos (Cuban sandwiches) and boneless is easier to slice. But it can also be made with bone-in pork (add 0.5kg/1lb to the pork weight). This roast is extremely tender though is still suited to carving rather than "pulling apart" with tongs - though I also provide the cook times for a pulled Cuban pork option!

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup cilantro / coriander, (lightly packed)
1 tbsp orange zest
3/4 cup orange juice, (fresh)
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup mint leaves, (lightly packed)
8 garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, (packed (or 1/2 tbsp dried oregano))
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 lb / 2 kg pork shoulder / pork butt, (skinless and boneless (not loin or leg roast, will dry out))
2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine Marinade ingredients in a food processor and blend until the herbs and garlic are finely chopped. Alternatively, you can finely chop/mince the garlic and herbs then mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Place in a large ziplock bag with the pork. Place in the fridge overnight (in a bowl, just to be safe).
  • Remove the pork from the Marinade and leave on counter for 1 hour (bring to room temp). Reserve the Marinade.
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F (200°C fan).
  • Roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Base with pan juices.
  • Reduce heat to 190°C/375°F (170°C). Roast for another 1 1/2 - 2 hours, basting every half hour, until the internal temperature reaches 70°/160°F. At this temperature, the pork is cooked, still juicy, and carvable, as it is intended to be (Note 1)
  • Fall-apart tender alternative (not slicable, meat falls apart): Roast at 160°C/320°F (all oven types) for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat can be easily shredded using 2 forks (check on side).
  • Remove from the oven and place on a plate, loosely covered with foil. Rest for 20 minutes before serving with the Mojo Sauce on the side. I decorated mine with pan fried slices of oranges and extra cilantro/coriander leaves.

TRADITIONAL CUBAN RECIPE: CUBAN MOJO (CUBAN MARINADE)



Traditional Cuban Recipe: Cuban Mojo (Cuban Marinade) image

There are many variations of mojo. It is the signature marinade of Cuba and it finds its way into many varied dishes. After searching through many recipes and cookbooks; I found this in on www.icuban.com and in "Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban" by: three brothers-in-law, Glenn Lindgren, Raul Musibay and Jorge Castillo. Many mojos do not include oil; with or without oil the key element is "sour" orange, an almost bitter orange that grows throughout Cuba and now it flourishes in most Miami backyards. In a pinch use: 2 parts orange juice to 1 part lemon juice and 1 part lime juice. The key to a good mojo is in the proportions; garlic, salt, whole black peppercorns and sour orange juice are it's main ingredients.Update: 04/14/08 add a teaspoon of cumin (if you so desire) there are many recipes that call for it but we don't use it here! I have been using this mojo since I left my mother's house, as we always used it in Cuba and Haiti.:)
