Ingredients

  • pounds boston butt pork shoulder boneless , skin on
  • bunch cilantro leaves fresh chopped for garnish
  •  garlic cloves smashed
  • teaspoon ground cumin 
  •  juice of lime juiced for serving
  •  juice of orange juiced
  • 12 servings kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper fresh black
  • cup olive oil extra-virgin
  • handful oregano fresh

Equipment

  • food processor
  • oven
  • knife
  • roasting pan
  • aluminum foil
  • cutting board

Directions

  1. Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack insert, and using a sharp knife, score the surface of the meat with small slits. Prepare the adobo: In a food processor, add the garlic, oregano, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add lime juice and orange juice.
  3. Drizzle in olive oil and pulse until you have a nice puree. Rub the marinade all over the pork, being sure to get into the incisions so the salt can penetrate the meat and pull out the moisture - this will help form a crust on the outside when cooked.
  4. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  5. Roast the pork for 3 hours, uncovered, until the skin is crispy-brown.
  6. Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing, covered lightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Drizzle with lime juice and garnish with cilantro.
