Looking for recipe for a dish called Garlic Pork, I think it involves marinating pork in vinegar and lots of garlic.

    Most if not all recipes use the traditional boil-n-fry method, just wondering what if I do it lo-n-slo in the egg?

    Here is an oriental version.


    Marinade, Pork, Que Queen's


    INGREDIENTS:
    1/2 cup dark soy sauce
    1/2 cup light soy sauce
    1/2 cup dry sherry
    1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
    1/2 cup lime juice, fresh squeezed OR
    1/2 cup bottled key lime juice
    1 cup peanut oil OR canola oil
    1/4 cup sesame oil
    2 medium onions
    6-10 Cloves Garlic
    2 Inches Fresh ginger, to 4 inches, peel




    Procedure:
    1 Combine onions that have been quartered, garlic and the ginger that has been cut in several chunks in the food processor. Puree and add the oil while the processor is on. Combine these and all the other ingredients. Let rest for an hour or so before using to allow the flavors to marry.
    2 Tips: Because of all the ingredients with a sugar content -- sherry and soy -- this marinade imparts a deep brown color. If possible, keep your meat wrapped for part of the cooking process. Of course, if you use this for pork tenderloins or chops, the cooking time is short enough for the marinade not to burn.
    3 This marinade is great on duck, too. Just prick the skin of the duck all over, let sit in the marinade 1-2 hours and roast at 400F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the duck skin is crisp and loose from the meat. This means the thick layer of fat under the skin has self-basted itself away.
    4 Serve with a spicy dipping sauce.

  • Here is a cuban version. I've done this several times - its good. I think I found this on the Food Network and it was for sliced pork. I made a few mods and took it to higher temps to make it pulled pork. Stop at 165 if you want sliced pork.

    Mojo Marinated Pork
    Ingredients
    4 1/2 cups fresh orange juice, divided
    1 1/4 cups fresh lime juice, divided
    Zest of 1 orange
    Zest of 1 lime
    1/4 cup finely chopped fresh oregano
    1/2 cup garlic, coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1 bone-in pork shoulder (about 4 to 6-pounds), trimmed of excess fat
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Combine 4 cups of the orange juice, 1 cup of the lime juice, zest and garlic in a large saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 cups.
    Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining orange juice, lime juice, oregano and olive oil.
    Let cool to room temperature.

    Marinate the pork roast in the refrigerator over night
    Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
    Place roast and marinade in a pan
    Add fresh ground black pepper to taste
    Cook at dome temp of 250 until internal temperature of 195-200
    Occasionally baste with the juices in the pan
    Wrap with HDAF and place in a cooler for an hour or so
    Pull and enjoy with Mojo dipping sauce

    Mojo Dipping Sauce:
    8 cloves garlic, chopped
    2 serrano chiles, chopped
    3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
    Salt
    1/2 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup lime juice
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    Using a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, serrano, cilantro and a few pinches of salt until it becomes a paste. Add the orange juice, lime juice and oil and stir to combine.
