Oregano2 tbsp
Cumin1.5 tsp

Method

1

In a large bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, cumin, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until evenly combined.

2

Place pork shoulder in the bowl with marinade, turning to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours, turning the meat halfway through.

3

Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove pork from refrigerator and let sit 30 minutes. Transfer pork and marinade to a roasting pan; arrange onion and bell pepper around it if using.

4

Roast uncovered for 60–90 minutes, basting pork with pan juices every 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 190°F and meat is fork-tender.

5

Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Shred or slice pork; serve with pan juices spooned over top, alongside rice, beans, plantains, or in sandwiches.
