Cuisine: Cuban
Ingredients: 8 medium garlic cloves; 1/2 cup orange juice (use fresh if possible); 1/4 cup lime juice (use fresh if possible); 2 Tablespoons avocado oil; 2 teaspoons sea salt; 2 teaspoons ground cumin; 2 teaspoons dried oregano; 1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 4 pound boneless pork shoulder roast, cut into 6 equal sized pieces (with excess fat trimmed off); slivered mint leaves; cilantro leaves; green olives; fried plantains (Look for yellow plantains with black spots, the darker they are the sweeter they are. Peel the plantains and cut them into 1 inch slices at a diagonal angle, fry them in avocado oil in a flat bottomed skillet over medium-high heat on each side then let them sit on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle each side with a pinch of salt while still warm.); avocado; marinated onions (1/2 a red onion thinly sliced into rings, 1 cup avocado oil, 1 Tablespoon dried oregano and 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar mixed together in a glass jar and left to marinate briefly or up to 1 week. Recommended marination time of 1 day if possible before serving.)

While I’ve never been to Cuba I’ve always dreamt of it! (I have been to Puerto Rico and LOVED it!) I love cuban flavors and this Whole30 Instant Pot Cuban Roast Pork with Mojo Criollo marinade is a true winner on both the flavor scale and the simplicity scale!

Mojo Criollo is a specific flavor blend that uses both fresh lime and orange juices along with oregano, garlic and chili powder to develop the signature flavors of the dish.

Great Meal Prep Recipe

This is a great meal to make ahead for your week since there are so many different ways to utilize the leftovers and have dinner just about made for you on several different nights.

Ways To Eat Whole30 Instant Pot Cuban Roast Pork

There is no end to the ways you can repurpose this Cuban pork into different meals. My favorite way to eat this pork is as pictured in a bowl with sliced avocado, cilantro, green olives, fried plantains, marinated red onions and sprinkled with mint. You can also eat this Cuban pork over a bed of greens as a salad, in tacos, over a roasted sweet potato and over cauliflower rice (or white rice if not on a Whole30). However you eat it, it’s going to be delicious!

This dish is so fresh, so tasty, and with the instant pot, oh so easy to have a flavorful dinner with almost no effort! Plate this cuban pork sprinkled slivered with mint leaves and alongside fried plantains, green olives (these are my absolute favorites!), cilantro, avocado and marinated onion and you’ve got yourself a true feast!

Eat and Enjoy,
