Cuban-Style Marinated Pork
3 cloves garlic
1 T. orange zest, grated
1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano
6 whole black peppercorns
1 C. orange juice
2 lbs. boneless center pork loin roast
1/4 C. fresh lemon juice
Combine first 4 ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until finely chopped. Add half the orange juice and process. Pierce pork all over with a sharp knife or fork. Place pork roast in a large Dutch oven or flameproof casserole dish. Rub garlic mixture over. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour. Preheat oven to 325°F. Pour remaining orange and lemon juice around pork. Cover Dutch oven, place in oven and roast 20 minutes per pound, basting occasionally. Transfer pork to a large baking pan. Set Dutch oven aside, reserving pan juices. Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Roast pork about 30 minutes, uncovered, until brown and thermometer inserted into center registers 160°F. Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes. Place Dutch oven with pan juices over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Simmer 5-7 minutes until liquid is reduced by about one half. Slice pork roast across the grain and serve immediately with sauce
