MASITAS DE CERDO FRITAS Fried Pork Chunks 2 1/2 lb. fresh pork loin 12 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 1 large onion chopped 1/2 cup sour orange juice (or 1/4 cup orange & 1/4 cup lime juice) 2 cups water 1 cup pure Spanish olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 fresh onion sliced into rings lime wedges 1 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon cumin
Cut pork into 2 inch chunks.
To prepare marinade: mix together garlic, chopped onion, orange juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, oregano, cumin and salt. Pour over pork chunks and marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Remove meat from marinade. Place in pot with two cups of water and 1/2 cup olive oil. Simmer, uncovered until all water boils away -- about 30 to 45 minutes.
Brown the pork in the oil until crispy on the outside -- DO NOT overcook! Add onion slices and saute briefly. Garnish with lime wedges. Serve with rice and plantains.
