  1. I guess this is really not a review - more of a question. I am cooking this right now - followed instructions and measurements to the last dash and dot. After the initial baking for 30 minutes in a very hot oven, there was very little juice. Turned the heat to 325 as instructed and within 15 minutes, there was no juice and the onions were burning. I added stock just to stop the scorching. Did I do something wrong? Don't understand why it dried up so fast.
     
  2. This was very good. The sauce didn't penetrate the meat but after adding a little vegetable stock to the drippings was able to generate some au jus to pour over the meat. Delish.
     
  3. Too bad I cant give better than 5 stars. Everyone was drooling while this was baking. (By the way, you could buy Mojo Criollo instead of making it yourself as listed, found in the Spanish food section of your market.) The only thing we did differently was marinade the pork in the Dutch oven, covered; and then slide the entire thing into the oven and cooked it. It was flavor intensified, juicy, and soooo yummy. It paired well with DH's yellow rice. So well, in fact, that some cooked marinade juice went into the broth for the next batch of yellow rice (we made extra rice, and baked a loaf of Cuban bread, to have for Cuban Sandwiches for lunch). The leftover pork will taste excellent tomorrow, I'm sure :) Thanks for posting! Its a keeper :)
     
  4. Cooked this sunday, had an 8 lb pork shoulder, cooked it for almost 6 hours. my husband and i stood over the pan and kept eating it as he carved, almost cut my finger off!! into my cookbook Thanks jellyqueen
     
  5. This recipe produces an awesome pork roast. The flavour is outstanding as the rub is really well-balanced and richly-flavoured. I let my roast marinate overnight (and part of the next day) in the fridge. I got tender, very flavourful meat and delicious pan juices that I left as is (did not thicken). A keeper!
