Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs lean boneless pork, cut into 2-inch cubes salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (shoulder or leg)
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup sour orange juice or 1/4 cup sweet orange juice 1/8 cup each fresh lime and lemon juice
vegetable oil or peanut oil, for frying
salt, to taste
crushed black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the meat liberally with salt and pepper. I.
  • In a mortar, crush the garlic into a paste and rub the pork with the garlic paste.
  • Place the pork in a nonreactive bowl and pour over the orange juice.
  • Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
  • Drain the pork cubes.
  • In a large saucepan, over medium heat, heat 2 inches of oil until very hot but not smoking, then add the pork cubes, without crowding them, raise the heat to high, and brown the cubes, turning with a slotted spoon. (The pork will release some moisture, lowering the oil temperature considerably.)
  • When oil temperature rises again, lower the heat a little and cook the cubes, turning frequently, until they are a rich, golden brown, another 10 minutes.
  • Occasionally turn up the heat when necessary to crisp the cubes.
  • As the cubes are finished, transfer them to a paper-towel-lined platter to drain; keep warm in a 200ºF oven until all the cubes are fried. (Placing the chunks in oven will make them nice and crispy).
  • Serve immediately, with Moros y Cristianos (Black Beans and Rice) and Mojo Criollo (Creole Garlic Sauce).

MASAS DE PUERCO (CUBAN FRIED PORK)



Masas De Puerco (Cuban Fried Pork) image

This recipe is from the restaurant, Havana Rumba. It is important to cut away as much of the exterior fat as possible before cooking. The shoulder is well marbled and will have enough fat in it to keep it moist during the cooking. The meat will shrink somewhat in the braising.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons ground oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 cups orange juice
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Cut the pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes, removing and discarding as much of the fat as possible.
  • In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmery.
  • Add the pork pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté until nicely golden brown.
  • Add the oregano, cumin and minced garlic and sauté about 3 more min, stirring.
  • Add the orange juice and beer. The liquid should almost cover the pork. Add more juice if needed.
  • Reduce the heat to simmer, cover and let cook until pork is very tender, about 1 hour or so.
  • Drain the meat well, and set aside to cool.
  • When ready to serve, heat the vegetable oil to 350ºF.
  • Add the cooked pork pieces in batches, and deep fry until brown and crisp on the outside.
