LECHON ASADA (CUBAN STYLE SHREDDED ROAST PORK)
Steps:
- In a food processor, add parsley, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, lime juice and jalapeños. Pulse the processor for 30 seconds until the herbs are chopped. With the processor running, add the oil slowly to incorporate evenly. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and set aside 1 cup for later preparation. Lechon Asada: With a sharp knife, carefully make deep cuts into the roast on all sides. Coat the roast with the Chimichurri Marinade, cover with plastic wrap and let marinate 2 to 4 hours. Preheat oven to 325°F. After marinating, remove the pork from marinade and place into a roasting pan. Once there, cover the pork with foil and cook for 2 1/2 hours. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 1 hour to deepen color. The roast is done when a fork pierced into side will easily flake meat. Once out of the oven, place on cutting board and using a fork, "pull" the meat into medium size bowl. Shred the meat about the size of a postage stamp. Put the shredded pork in a clean mixing bowl and toss with reserved Chimichurri Marinade Lechon Asada can be enjoyed on fresh Cuban bread as a sandwich for a fantastic lunch, or served with yellow rice and black beans as a homestyle Cuban entrée, enjoy!
