Cuban Food! I Miss South Florida...

I've been missing the Cuban food of Miami for a while now. I've always had the thought that I could make some awesome shredded mojo pork in the crockpot, because I can make some awesome BBQ pork in the crockpot. So tonight I decided to try it. I got a pretty good recipe online and made my own marinade and let it marinate overnight. So here's what you'll need: a 1 lb pork tenderloin, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, cumin, lime juice, orange juice, honey, and I threw some Adobo in there too. I didn't measure, but basically you put all the spices in with some oj and lime juice, leave the honey out for now, I put all this in my Magic Bullet and blended, then poked holes in my tenderloin and shot the mixture in it. Then put it a gallon size Ziploc bag and let it soak overnight. This morning I put the tenderloin and the marinade in the crockpot and set it on low for 8 hours. This is how the tenderloin looked in the crockpot when it was done:

Then I took it out and it fell apart, like this:

So then I used those two forks to shred it all up. Next, I made a sauce. Here's the recipe for the sauce:

1/3 cup OJ

1 Tbsp Lime Juice

1 Tbsp Fresh Minced Garlic

2 Tbsp Honey

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Again I mixed it all together with my Magic Bullet and then heated the mixture for a few seconds in the microwave and then poured it all over the shredded meat in crockpot.

Next, it was time to make the zucchini and squash. I love zucchini and squash! Here is my not so secret recipe of how I make it:

1 large zucchini

1 large yellow squash

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

lots of Goya Adobo

Slice the zucchini and squash in half lengthwise and then chop, making half moon shapes, throw it into a large saucepan with the olive oil and sprinkle liberally with Adobo, cook on medium-high for about 5 minutes until veggies are tender.

And voila, here's the finished meal, not exactly La Carreta, but hubby and I definitely enjoyed, and I loved how easy it was!
