Macadamia Free Cuban-Style Mojo Pork

Few things hit as deeply as slow-roasted pork that's been bathing overnight in a bright, citrusy marinade — and this Cuban-inspired mojo version absolutely delivers on that promise. The combination of fresh orange juice, lime juice, garlic-infused olive oil, cumin, oregano, and thyme creates a marinade that's bold, aromatic, and deeply savory all at once. A long, covered roast at low heat does the heavy lifting, coaxing the bone-in shoulder into fall-apart tenderness before a final blast of high heat caramelizes the surface into something genuinely irresistible. The pan drippings get reduced into a glossy, concentrated sauce that you'll want to pour over everything on the plate. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about unexpected additions sneaking in. Finished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, this is the kind of centerpiece dish that makes a weeknight feel like a celebration — or anchors a weekend spread without breaking a sweat.
