Recipes
Roasted Cuban Mojo Pork
For the mojo sauce, mix ½ cup fresh orange juice, ¼ cup lime juice, ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, and 4 tsp. Cuban Mojo Seasoning in a medium bowl. Set aside until ready to serve. Set aside until ready to serve. Coat a 3 lb. boneless pork shoulder with 2 tbsp. Seasoning. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, place on sheet pan or plate, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Unwrap pork; transfer to Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, fat side up. Pour 1 cup water around pork. Cover, transfer pot to oven. Braise 2 ½ hours or until meat registers 175°F in center. Remove cover. Cook 1 hour longer or until fork tender. Transfer pork to carving board; tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 30 minutes. Slice pork and serve with mojo sauce.
Cuban-Style Tostones with Mojo Dipping Sauce
For the mojo dipping sauce, mix ¼ cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, and 2 tsp. Seasoning in a medium bowl. Set aside until ready to serve. For the tostones, peel and slice 3 green plantains into 1-inch thick slices. Heat 1 cup frying oil in a large deep skillet on medium heat. Working in batches as needed, fry plantain slices about 2 minutes per side, until medium-soft with a slightly golden color. Remove plantains with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels. Let plantains cool enough to handle, about 1 minute. Place plantains on cutting board and smash using a tostonera or bottom of a heavy mug or small heavy skillet. Working in batches again, return smashed plantains to hot oil. Fry 1 minute per side until crispy and golden. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle generously with Seasoning, tossing to coat. Serve immediately with prepared dipping sauce.
