Cuban Mojo Pork Roast – Juicy, Zesty, and Authentic

In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, garlic, oregano, lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to form the mojo marinade.

Place the pork shoulder in a large resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the meat.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover with foil.

Roast for 3 to 3½ hours, or until fork-tender. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to brown the outside.

Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing or shredding.
