Making the best tasting Cuban Lechon Asado is about providing the correct amount of ingredients, and cooking the food to perfection. From start to finish, the whole time it should take to prepare and cook the meal is roughly 7 hours in total. The idea behind cooking this delectable dish is to slow cook it to perfection.
Steps to Cooking CubanLechon Asado
To get started, the ingredients you should be using include:
-6 pound pork shoulder roast
-20 cloves of garlic
-1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
-2 teaspoons of salt
-1 and half cups sour orange juice
-1 teaspoon of oregano
-1 cup of minced onion
-1 and half cups olive oil
Lechon Marinades
-Apart from the 6-pound of pork shoulder roast, the other ingredients are here to help flavor up the roast and provide great taste.
-Start by mashing up all of the marinades, such as the garlic, salt, black peppercorns, onions and oregano.
-Once mixed together, you will need to heat up the sauce to boiling point (220F).
-After being heated up, you can apply the marinade to the pork and work your hands through the meat.
-Once you have massaged the flavor into the pork, pierce the meat as many times as possible and leave the meat to rest in the refrigerator for several hours (preferably overnight).
Now, it's time to get started with the actual cooking. The way to get the best tasting Lechon is to use the oven. Place the oven to 450 Degrees F and place the pork shoulder roast in the oven for roughly 7 hours. You should remove the pork when the internal temperature is 195 Degrees F. If you want pork that is easy to cut and sliced, you can pull the pork out when the internal temperature is 175 Degrees F.
