Cuban Mojo Pork

-


Ingredients

  • 4 lbs boneless pork shoulder
    Mojo de ajo:
  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp orange zest
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup lightly packed mint leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

Combine mojo ingredients in a large plastic bag and mix well to combine. Carefully place the pork shoulder into the bag and seal, removing as much air from the bag as possible. Shake the bag to evenly coat the pork with the marinade. Place the sealed bag on a plate and leave in the refrigerator to marinate overnight. 

The following morning, transfer the pork and marinade into the Instant Pot. Cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 6. When the pork is done, skim the fat off the top. Serve with juices.

* For a thicker sauce, make a cornstarch slurry (1 Tbsp water + 1 Tbsp cornstarch), add to slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes.

Quick & Easy Pancakes

Ingredients: 1 egg 1 cup milk 2 Tbsp oil 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup sifted self-rising flour Instructions: In medium bowl, beat egg with wire whisk until fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients just until flour is moistened (batter will be slightly lumpy); do not overmix or pancakes will be tough. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.  Heat griddle at 375°F until drops of water sprinkled on it evaporate noisily.  Working in batches, pour 1/8 cup batter (or 1/4 cup for larger pancakes) onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1 more minute.
