Ingredients:


1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin -- cut into 1 inch cubes

6 cloves garlic -- crushed

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dry oregano

1/2 cup sour orange juice -- or

1/4 cup orange juice -- and

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 cup olive oil
 

Preparation / Directions:


Place pork cubes in a self sealing plastic bag; mix together remaining ingredients and pour over pork cubes; seal bag and refrigerate overnight. Remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade, and place pork cubes in a shallow baking pan. Roast in a 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until pork is tender. Remove to serving platter and serve hot. Menu suggestion: These crispy pork cubes are traditionally served with fried and mashed plantains (known as fufu in Cuba or mofongo in Puerto Rico). However, for a quick and easy meal, serve the Masitas de Cerdo with a fragrant rice pilaf, sauteed peppers and onions, fresh or purchased salsa and some warmed tortillas.
