Cuban cuisine is a delicious combination of Native
American Taino, African, Spanish and Carribean
gastronomy. Most Cuban dishes involve the use of
African and Spanish spices and techniques while there
are also those that have Caribbean influences.

If you want to give your pig roast a Cuban twist, use a
mojo criollo marinade. Your pig will end up spicy, sweet and sour at the same time --- but definitely in a lip-
smacking way!

What is a mojo marinade? The mojo criollo sauce
supposedly came from the Canary Islands but has Cuban and Caribbean
versions, too.

Regardless of its varieties, it has one common attribute:
spiciness!

Typically, a mojo marinade is a combination of cumin,
water, salt, olive oil, paprika, garlic, coriander and local
peppers.

The Cuban version, on the other hand, involves the use of citric ingredients such as
lemons, lime, oranges or vinegar.

You should not worry about the versatility of the mojo
sauce. You can use it to flavor different kinds of food
items: vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.

Peel your garlic cloves and mash them. Then get a large mixing
bowl and combine all the ingredients together. Stir them thoroughly in order to evenly distribute the flavors of the
herbs, spices and the juices, too. Let the mixture sit for at least an
hour before using it.
Always use a meat injector to infuse the sauce into your pig’s meat. Make sure that the holes are created at uniform distances
from each other.

Inject the hams, loins and shoulders of the pig. Once done, apply the sauce all over the pig’s
skin and on its insides, too.
