Ingredients
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup lightly packed cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup lightly packed mint leaves, finely chopped
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced oregano
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 3 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, in one piece (also good with ribs and kabobs)
Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except salt, pepper and the pork. Whisk in 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag and add the pork. Seal the bag and turn to coat; set in a baking dish and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425° and set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the pork to a work surface; discard the marinade. Fold the pork under itself, into thirds if necessary, and tie with string to form a neat roll. Season all over with salt and pepper and set it on the rack.
Roast the pork for 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce the oven temperature to 375° and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°; transfer to a carving board and let rest for 30 minutes. Discard the string before slicing across the grain.
