A few weeks ago we went to a dinner for hub’s cousin who is getting married in a few weeks. Her Grandmother, Hub’s Aunt Mary made all the food. Aunt Mary did pulled pork and Mango Chutney (kinda more like a salsa to me, probably why i liked it!) that was just terrific!
Cuban pulled Pork
1 to 2 lb pork loin
1/2 cup olive oil
2 T fresh oregano
Juice from 1 lime & 1 orange
1 t cumin
4 cloves garlic
4 oz crushed pineapple
1 bay leaf
Salt & pepper pork loin, place in crock pot; add all remaining ingredients, except bay leaf, to a mini food processor. Zap and pour over pork. Add bay leaf. Set on Low for 6-8 hours. use 2 forks to shred pork.
Aunt Mary’s Mango Chutney
4 pitted mangos, chopped
sm can of crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 t kosher salt
2 T cider vinegar
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds & ribs removed
1 T grated fresh ginger root
place all ingredients in sauce pan, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 mins. Cool completely and serve. I cut the recipe way down and only used 1 mango since it was just for us. It was yummy!!
Serve with black beans and rice for an authentic Cuban meal! It was awesome!!
Enjoy!
