Cuban Pork?

We saw an article in the Los Angeles Times for Cuban Pork. We decided to make it along with Rice and Black Beans.

For the first course we had made a salad from Treviso, chopped apple, crumbled blue cheese, candid walnuts, and sliced shallots. We topped it with saba. It made a very tasty salad.

The pork dish is a long cooking dish in the oven. We both felt that it was good, but didn’t taste particularly Cuban. We aren’t sure why. I don’t think will make it again, so I want post the recipe. We will keep looking for a better rendition. If someone had told us we were making a pork recipe, we would have been satisfied with it – the meat was very moist. It just wasn’t what we expected. Oh well!
