Cuban Pork

So…we watched Chef which is a movie with and by Jon Favreau and Scarlett Johansson.  The whole time he's making this food that's like--I'm not hungry but I do want that.  He makes this pork shoulder for cuban sandwiches which is my other post this week.  The pork tastes like nothing I've had before:

Ingredients

• Fresh-squeezed lime juice (half cup)
• Fresh-squeezed orange juice (one cup)
• Orange zest (one tablespoon)
• Cilantro (one cup, packed)
• Garlic (8 cloves)
• Olive oil (half cup)
• Minced oregano (one tablespoon)
• Ground coriander (one tablespoon)
• Ground pepper (one tablespoon)
• Salt (one teaspoon)
• Pork shoulder or tenderloin (2 pounds)

Feeds 6-8 adults!

Directions

1. Put the lime juice, garlic, and cilantro together in the blender and liquify until smooth. 
2. Whisk together the lime blend, orange juice, olive oil, oregano, coriander, salt and pepper.  
3. Place the tenderloin in the bowl. 
4. If the marinade does not cover the meat, put the lime and orange rinds around the meat to displace the marinade, covering the meat.
5. Cover the bowl (with plastic wrap or a lid) and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.  
6. Pre-heat the oven to 225. Discard the marinade and place the pork on a cookie sheet.  Cook for 2 hours or until the center is 140 degrees F. 
7. Remove from the oven, let it stand for 30 minutes.  Cut and serve immediately.
