Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a blender, combine garlic, orange juice, lime juice, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.

2

Marinate the Pork

Place the pork shoulder in a large dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.

3

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

4

Roast the Pork

Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Roast in the oven for about 4-5 hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).

5

Prepare the Onions

While the pork is roasting, slice the onions and grill them on medium heat until they are caramelized.

6

Serve

Once the pork is done, let it rest for 20 minutes before shredding. Serve with the grilled onions on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.
