To make Publix mojo pork, marinate pork with a mix of citrus juices, garlic, and spices, then slow-cook it until tender and flavorful.
Start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need pork shoulder, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt.
Combine the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt in a bowl to create the marinade.
Place the pork shoulder in a large resealable bag or a dish, then pour the marinade over it. Make sure the pork is well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for maximum flavor.
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
Slow roast the pork for about 4 to 6 hours or until it’s fork-tender.
Once it’s done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before shredding.
Serve your mojo pork in tacos, on rice, or as a filling for sandwiches.
This dish is packed with flavor and perfect for gatherings or a cozy family dinner. It’s sure to impress!
