Some of our Floridian friends recently introduced us to Mojo sauce. Usually its used as a marinade or dipping sauce, but I love slow cooked roasts and thought I would play around and see what kind of magic my crock pot could create with this. The result was fall off the bone tender and very juicy. I served this with cuban black beans and rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as canola
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 lb bone in pork roast
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic while stirring constantly until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes or so.
- Add the next 2 ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Cook until reduced by half. (I check the beginning depth using my stirring spoon and use that to gauge the progress of the reduction.)
- Stir in the cilantro and cumin then season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes
- Pour liquid into crock pot and wipe out skillet
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet
- Pat roast dry and cook a few minutes on each side until browned.
- Place in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours
- When roast is done, remove to cutting board
- Pour crock pot liquid in saucepan and simmer, skimming the fat off the top. Use this to pour over pork and serve.
