Cuban Pork Roast

Ingredients

• 2 lb pork shoulder
• 2 medium onion
• 6 cloves garlic
• ½ cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1.5 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Pat the 2 lb pork shoulder dry and season all over with 1.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total.

3. 3

   Remove pork to a plate. Add 2 sliced onions and 6 minced garlic cloves to the skillet; cook until onions soften, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour in 0.5 cup orange juice, scraping up browned bits. Return pork to skillet, spooning onions over the top.

5. 5

   Sprinkle with 1 tsp dried oregano. Cover and roast in oven until pork is fork-tender, about 2 hours, basting once halfway.

6. 6

   Uncover and roast 15 more minutes until top is browned. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing; serve with onions and pan juices.
