Yucatecan Grilled Pork

Submitted by Chabear01

"In researching Yucatecan cooking I have found this is Mexican region with strong Mayan and European influence which translates into their food. This recipe was found in "Totally Garlic Cookbook" a small book my late DM picked up on one of her many trips to the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Preparation time does NOT include marinating time."

ingredients

• 2 cups lime juice
• 12 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 1 tablespoon coarse salt
• 4 lbs boneless pork shoulder, thinly sliced across the grain by butcher

directions

1. Whisk together the lime juice, garlic, and salt in a large pan or bowl. Add pork slices and toss to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 8 hours.

Very good plus EASY which earns high marks from me! I reduced the marinade to serve one person but with two pork chops. I used 2 limes. Grilled ours along with Recipe#321219. Super meal. Thanks Chabear01 for sharing. Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y!

Oh, this was marvelous! I was a little concerned about the amount of lime juice, but went with it. When I took it out of the fridge, the meat looked almost cooked. When I grilled it, it smelled a little bit like heaven. That is, of course, if heaven smells a lot like garlic, too! Can't say enough about this recipe. Thnx, so much, Chabear01.
