TRINI ROAST PORK RECIPES

Steps:

• Thaw the pork overnight. Wash with water and lime juice. Score the meat with a sharp knife. Cut through the fat, but too deep into the meat. You can also use an injector needle to inject the seasoning into the meat. Mix green season with salt, ginger and soy sauce. Rub the seasoning into the pork. Cover with foil and leave to marinate for 18 hours in the refrigerator.
• Place the pork in a roasting pan to roast in the oven uncovered. Roast in a 350 degree F preheated oven for 30 minutes, then 325 degree F for 2 1/2 hours. This gets the skin real crispy. Turn roast half way through roasting.
• Mix the orange juice, salt, and olive oil in a separate mixing bowl. Every half an hour, brush the juice over the pork

Steps:

• First day preparation:
• To make the marinade, combine the first 8 ingredients in a freshly-sanitized plastic container just large enough to hold the pork snug - or - in a Ziploc plastic bag. Reserve 1/4 cup of marinade for glaze. Add the pork, turn well to coat, and refrigerate at least 24 hours and not longer than 48 hours.
• Second day preparation:
• Preheat oven to 450°F Set a pan filled with 1" water on the bottom rack.
• Combine the honey, 2 Tbs. soy, sesame oil, and 1/4 cup pork marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Set aside.
• Place pork strips on broiler pan and put on rack above water pan. Roast 10 minutes.
• Brush with 1/3 of the glaze, roast 10 minutes more, and then lower the heat to 350°F
• Brush with half of remaining glaze and roast 10 minutes more.
• Brush with remaining glaze and turn off oven. Remove from oven after 5 minutes and cool to room temperature on a rack (if using for Bao; otherwise, serve it up!).
