How to Make Garlic And Red Wine Cuban Roast Pork
- In a large bowl or resealable bag, combine the pork roast with 1 bottle (750ml) of dry red wine, 6 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Transfer the pork roast and marinade to a large Dutch oven or oven-safe roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, make 12 slits about 1 inch deep into the roast.
- Insert a halved garlic clove into each slit.
- Cover the Dutch oven or roasting pan tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Roast for 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers at least 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the lid or foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the pork to brown slightly.
- Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the incredibly tender and flavorful result!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
