INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: See the "Rice And Black Bean Dressing" and "Fried Sweet Plantains" recipes which are included in this collection. This recipe is a two day procedure. Make sure that your butcher thoroughly cleans the suckling pig. By cleaning inside and out and removing the eyeballs and eyelids. With a knife make several cuts on the pigs skin so the skin doesnt burst during cooking. Prop the pigs mouth open with a small yam. Season the entire pig with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Place the pig in a garbage bag and tie the bag tightly. Place the pig in the refrigerator and chill for 12 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and rinse thoroughly. In a mixing bowl combine the garlic, parsley, thyme, cumin, bay leaves, onions, juice of the orange, lime, lemon, olive oil and wine. Whisk the marinade until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Place the pig back in the bag and pour the marinade over the pig. Tie the bag tightly and place back in the refrigerator. Turn the pig every three hours. Refrigerate the pig for 12 hours. Remove the pig from the refrigerator and out of the bag, reserve the marinade. Stuff the cavity with the Rice And Black Bean Dressing. Using a kitchen needle and thread, tie up the cavity. Tie the front legs and then back legs. Cover the tail with aluminum foil. Place the pig on a large roasting pan and pour the reserved marinade over the pig. Place the pig in the oven. Roast the pig for about 5 hours, basting and turning the pig every hour. Remove the pig from the oven and allow the pig to rest for about 30 minutes before slicing. Garnish with Fried Sweet Plantains. This recipe yields about 12 servings.
