Masitas De Puerco

Hey Kiddies - it's been awhile, I know...

This dinner was so good that I forgot to take a photo of it! But I found one on someone else's blog and it looks about right.
Ingredients:
2-1/2 lb. fresh pork loin12 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed1 large onion chopped1/2 cup sour orange juice (or 1/4 cup unsweetened orange juice & 1/4cup lime juice)2 cups water1 cup pure Spanish olive oil1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 fresh onion sliced into ringslime wedges1 teaspoon oregano1 teaspoon cumin

Directions:Cut pork into 2 inch chunks. To prepare marinade: mix together garlic,chopped onion, orange juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, oregano, cumin andsalt. Pour over pork chunks and marinate for at least 3 hours orovernight in the refrigerator.

Remove meat from marinade. Place in pot with two cups of water and 1/2cup olive oil. Simmer, uncovered until all water boils away -- about30 to 45 minutes. Brown the pork in the oil until crispy on theoutside -- DO NOT overcook! Add onion slices and saute briefly.Garnish with lime wedges. Serve with white rice.
