lechon asado or cuban roast pork

This is officially my daughters favorite food next to sushi.  In addition, it is my hubby’s third. Not bad for me because it’s EASY~CHEAP~YUMMY chomps!

Best served with some black beans and rice…and some fresh lime slices.

very simple~ heat some olive oil in a dutch oven or heavy pot. Add the juice of 4 limes (don’t discard the limes) a coarsely sliced onion, and chopped garlic and fresh ground black pepper.  Place everything in the pot (including the limes) cook down at med~high for 5~7min. Remove the limes and add the roast….get it nice and caramel colored on each side. Reduce heat to med~low and add 1/2~3/4c dry white wine. Cover and cook 3- 31/2 hrs add 2-3tbs kosher salt  and shred the roast , and remove the fatty parts. The roast is done when it shreds easily. Serve with a fresh squeeze of lime juice!

Don’t you just love garlic?

slice the onion like this…

make some cuts into the roast and stiff more sliced garlic into it.

this makes the house smell wonderful…. enjoy!
