Puerto Rican Pork Roast

Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

20 servings

Ingredients

8 cloves garlic, peeled
¼ cup salt
¼ cup black pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 (10 pound) pork picnic roast
4 yucca (cassava) roots, peeled and sliced

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2
Place the garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and olive oil into the container of a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Use a small knife to make several incisions in the fresh ham. Insert the garlic paste into each one using a small spoon. Place the ham in a roaster, and cover.

Step 3
Bake for 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, then check every 15 minutes or so, until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F ( 80 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer.

Step 4
While the meat is roasting, place the yucca in a large pot of boiling water. Cook until fork tender, and drain. Serve with pork roast.
