Very similar to carnitas, these little chunks of pork, marinated in citrus, herbs and garlic, are traditionally made with pork shoulder and fried. This version uses more readily-available and leaner pork loin. Serve with rice, black beans, chopped onion, chopped fresh cilantro, salsa and warmed tortillas.

Masitas de Cerdo (Pork Bits)

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup sour orange juice (or use 1/4 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup lime juice)
1/4 cup olive oil
  1. Place pork cubes in a self-sealing plastic bag; mix together remaining ingredients and pour over pork cubes; seal bag and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade, and place pork cubes in a shallow baking pan.
  3. Roast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until pork is tender. Remove to serving platter and serve hot.

Serves 6.
