I decided to use the last pork butt in the freezer to make a Cuban style pork roast to have later in the week and the following week we get to have Cuban sammies! I made my paste of salt, garlic and cumin. I added a little naranja agria (sour orange) juice. Did the usual deep holes with the pairing knife, stuffing the paste into the holes and slathering the rest over the surface. The roast then gets set over a bed of sliced onions, with the rest of the juice poured into the bottom of the pan. This gets covered loosely in foil and marinates over night in the fridge.
Roast after marinating.
For those not familiar with sour oranges, these are fresh ones. You can see that they have lots of seeds.
I will wrap the roast in banana leaves and then foil.
I'm bringing the Egg up to temp (250 F) and then the roast will go on. I'll update with more pics later.
