Puerto Rican Pork a La Criolla

Recipe #99717 | 1¾ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

This is a really flavorful roast pork, with lots of garlic and black pepper. It doesn't require overnight prep, just about 5 minutes of seasoning and an hour and a half in the oven. Leftovers make great sandwiches!

This is delicious! I marinated a bone in pork loin roast overnight in the pepper, garlic, oregano, vinegar and oil mixture and roasted it the next day in the oven. The taste was so good - I can still taste it. Thanks submitter.

    Fabuloso!! We loved this and will make it again and again. The flavors were great and the cooking temperature and time resulted in a juicy and tender roast. Served with JenniferK2's Arroz con Gandules #220492 and a green salad it was the focal point of a perfect meal. Thanks EdsGirlAngie!

    Simply the best pork roast I've ever made! I used a 3 lb pork rib roast, and it turned out tender and juicy with incredible flavor due to the addition of the vinegar. While the roast was resting I deglazed the pan with a cup and a half of water and added a tablespoon of butter to melt in at the end. Which made an awesome sauce to spoon over the roast! Thanks Angie!

    Excellent, easy and very flavorful. I don't actually cook much pork but boneless pork loin roasts were on 2 for 1, so I made this aand am happy I did. I just went back for two more roasts and am going to have this for Mother's Day Dinner. Thank for the recipe.
