Lechon Asado Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, combine crushed garlic, soy sauce, citrus juice, black pepper, salt, and bay leaves. Mix well.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Place the pork shoulder in a large dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the pork is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

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

4. 4

   Roast the Pork

   Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 4-5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).

5. 5

   Prepare Sautéed Onions

   In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the pork is done, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve topped with the sautéed onions.
