On March 12, 2006 in Different Dinner Project, Recipes
2 pound pork roast
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf, crushed
2 cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons orange juice
3/4 cup orange juice, no pulp
2 tablespoons fresh ginger puree
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- Whisk together the top ingredients, except the pork, and marinade the pork in this overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Remove pork roast from marinade and place in a roaster just a bit larger than it.
- Place the orange juice, ginger, brown sugar and cloves in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce orange juice mixture to a syrup, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, and use this to baste the pork roast.
- Place the pork in the oven and roast until the internal temperature is about 160 degrees, about 75-80 minutes, basting every half hour or so.
- Allow pork to rest for 20 minutes before cutting and serve with warmed tortillas and salsa or citrus.
