Pork shoulder from movie chef

Mojo-Marinated Pork Shoulder

This recipe works for small pork tenderloins, too. Just cut the marinade ingredients in half and cook the tenderloin 30-40 minutes at 350. By Roy Choi, from the movie “Chef,” serves 6 to 8.

Ingredients

¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup lightly packed cilantro, finely chopped

1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

¾ cup fresh orange juice

½ cup fresh lime juice

¼ cup lightly packed mint leaves, finely chopped

8 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon minced oregano

2 teaspoons ground cumin

Kosher salt and pepper

3½ pounds boneless pork shoulder, in one piece

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except salt, pepper and the pork. Whisk in 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag and add the pork. Seal the bag and turn to coat; set in a baking dish and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the pork to a work surface; discard the marinade. Fold the pork under itself, into thirds if necessary, and tie with string to form a neat roll. Season all over with salt and pepper and set it on the rack.

Roast the pork for 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160 degrees; transfer to a carving board and let rest for 30 minutes. Discard the string before slicing across the grain.
