Best Pata De Cerdo Canary Island Style Pork Roast Recipes

PATA DE CERDO (CANARY ISLAND STYLE PORK ROAST)

Steps:

• Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic cloves and sea salt.
• Once creamy, add paprika, thyme, oregano and olive oil; combine well.
• Rub roast all over with this mixture.
• Place uncovered in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven.
• Bake 3 to 4 hours or until cooked through.
• Remove from oven and allow to stand 15 minutes before slicing.
• Slice into very thin slices.
• Serve on crusty baguettes, lightly salted.

SLOW COOKER ITALIAN-STYLE PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Combine garlic, salt, basil, oregano and red pepper flakes in small bowl; rub over roast.
• Place half of onion slices into slow cooker. Cut roast in half to fit into slow cooker. Place one half of roast over onion slices; top with remaining onion slices and other half of roast. Pour pasta sauce over roast. Cover; cook on LOW 8 to 9 hours until roast is fork tender.
• Remove roast from cooking liquid; tent with foil. Let liquid in slow cooker stand 5 minutes to allow fat to rise. Skim off fat.
• Stir beans into liquid. Cover; cook on HIGH 10 to 15 minutes or until beans are hot. Cut pork. Serve with beans mixture and garnish wi fresh basil, if desired.
• I did not use the beans, so I used corn starch to thicken the liquid and spooned it over the rice and pork.

BAKED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, whisking.
• Poke the pork roast 10-12 times deeply with a fork to allow the marinade to penetrate it.
• Place the roast in a casserole dish and pour the marinade over it. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours. (Some people like to do this in a large zip-lock bag and that is fine). Make sure to turn the roast a couple of times during the marinating process.
• At the end of the four hours, elevate the roast slightly in a roaster pan or Dutch Oven with a small rack or oven proof saucer. Pour in the cup of water, along with the marinade, so that the liquid doesn't actually touch the roast if possible.
• Cover the roasting pan and bake in a pre-heated 300-degree F. oven for 2 hours. Then, reduce the heat to 275-degrees and bake for an additional 45 minutes. You should baste the roast 4 times during the baking process.
• At the end of the 45 minutes, remove the cover and broil the roast for 5-15 minutes until it is nicely golden brown on top.
• After browning, remove the roast from the oven and allow it to "rest", covered for 20 minutes before slicing.

PERFECT PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350f.
• Mix all spices and oil together. If needed, add more oil to produce a thick molasses-like consistency. Rub mixture on roast and place in roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake approximately 30 mins per pound until internal temperature is at least 165f.
• About an hour before it's finished, add a little water to the bottom of the pan and add lightly seasoned (salt/pepper/oregano), cut potatoes and carrots or green beans. Do not cover the vegetables with the water. Do recover the roast with foil to avoid drying it out.
