ROAST PORK MARINATED IN GARLIC ALLSPICE-CUMIN ADOBO: CERDO BRUJO

Steps:

• For the marinade: Place all the ingredients except the juice in a large mortar and pound to a paste with a pestle. Stir in the bitter orange juice. If desired puree these ingredients in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
• For the pork: Trim the skin only from the back of the leg. Wipe the leg of pork clean. Make several deep incisions all around the leg, except for the skin. Rub with salt. Allow to rest for a few minutes. Rub pork all over with the marinade, pushing it in the deep gashes made all over the leg. Cover with plastic film and refrigerate, preferably overnight or for a couple of hours. Wipe the marinade from the skin with a clean cloth.
• Cooking the pork: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the leg on a roasting pan. Bake uncovered with the skin side up for about 4 hours. Check the roast often, add some orange juice, and water if the pan juices dry out. Cook until the skin is like a crackling and the juices run clear when the meat is pierced on the thickest part of the leg (about 160 degrees F on a meat thermometer), about 3 1/2 hours

ALL AROUND MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients together and marinade meat in it for a few hours
• I use a 1 gallon ziplock bag but you can use a bowl or a pan or whatever you like -- I personally like to make the marinade in the morning and let it marinade all day long -- the longer it marinades the more tender and flavorful the meat is --
• Cook meat as desired:.
• Bake - I suggest baking it for the majority of the time to keep the meat from drying out, and putting it on a different pan for the last few minutes without the juices to sear it and get a glazed effect.
• Grill - I would suggest brushing the marinade onto the meat while grilling to keep the meat from drying out to much.
