Cuban Pork
Submitted by Laura Hintz
12 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. onion salt
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Adolph’s meat tenderizer
Mix together all the above ingredients (Adobo). Wash a 6-7 #
pork leg (also called a fresh ham, not cured) and trim off almost
all the fat. Dry pork leg and let it drain a little bit. Stab the leg
in different parts deep enough so the Adobo penetrates it (leave
a little bit of the Adobo for the following morning). Put the
pork leg in a turkey cooking bag along with the Adobo and let
it marinate overnight at room temperature. Keep turning the
meat over and over so that all sides get covered. The following
morning add the leftover Adobo (do not drain off the marinating
liquid) and put it into the oven at 350 degrees. Roast a half
hour per pound. Don’t overcook it! Be sure to baste the leg with
its own juices every half hour. With the turkey bag you don’t
necessarily have to do this but it sure makes a nice brown crust
if you do. Leftovers freeze well. Be sure to cover with any of the
remaining Adobo to keep the meat moist.
This is a recipe from my step-father and was served for Christmas
in his home in Havana. He is no longer with us but the Germans,
Swedes, Cech, Irish, French and Nez Perce family members expect
it for Christmas every year. Also served is black beans and rice.
Any leftover beans and rice were mixed together and called Moors
and Christians in Cuba. We triple the recipe for a 20# roast
because everyone wants to take leftovers home.
