Masas De Puerco (Cuban Pork Chunks) Preparation

To prepare marinade: mix together garlic, chopped onion, juices, 1/2 cup olive oil, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. (Use can also use store bought "Mojo") 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, 30-45 minutes. Brown the pork in the oil until crispy on the outside. DO NOT overcook! Add onion slices if you like and saute briefly. You can also finish them with a bit of fresh lime juice or serve with lime wedges.
