Pork and Marinade

Orange Glaze

Serving Suggestions

Method

Marinating the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in the bowl with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Reserve the marinade for later use. Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart.

Making the Orange Glaze

  1. 5

    Combine Glaze Ingredients

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange zest, honey, and soy sauce. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

  2. 6

    Thicken the Glaze

    Once the mixture in the saucepan starts to simmer, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Serving the Dish

  1. 7

    Glaze the Pork

    Once the pork is done cooking, remove it from the oven and brush the orange glaze generously over the top. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Slice the pork and serve it with fresh orange slices and chopped cilantro on top for garnish.
