How people cook with it
Mojo pork is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different culinary applications.
- Shredded for sandwiches
- Cubed for stews
- Sliced for platters
- Added to rice bowls
To cook, you can place the marinated pork shoulder in a slow cooker with some additional liquid, such as broth or water, and cook on low for several hours until tender and easily shredded. Alternatively, roast it in the oven at a moderate temperature until cooked through. Once cooked, the pork can be pulled apart with forks or sliced. The juices from cooking can be used to moisten the shredded pork or create a simple sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain pork shoulder, this product comes pre-marinated, saving time on seasoning. The mojo marinade provides a distinct citrusy and garlicky flavor profile that is characteristic of Cuban and Latin American cuisine, setting it apart from unseasoned pork or other marinades.
