I miss the Caribbean. I miss the food in the Caribbean.
While I’ve never visited Cuba, I spent 6 years living on the next island over, the Dominican Republic. And the food, oh the food…I miss the food!
I love getting to recreate the flavors of the Caribbean in my kitchen now. This Cuban style pork roast combines the acidity and citrus flavors from orange juice and lime juice…along with the smoky cumin and a surprise twist from the oregano. It’s a fabulous combination!
Love how tasty and simple this pork is to make in the slow cooker…and how to flavors and taste take my mind back to the memories and time I spent in the Caribbean!
