A dish I had growing up in a Cuban household...a staple! (OMGHEATHER)

A pound of pork cubes, out of the darker sirloin cut is best.
Salt and Pepper to taste
1-2 Cups of Mojo, bottled or see recipe below.
Water to cover pork cubes.
Chopped white onion

Juice of one lime
Olive Oil for sauteing.

In a pressure cooker, crockpot or pot, place pork cubes sprinkled with salt and pepper and chopped onion. Pour mojo over it then use the water to cover the pork and onions. Set the lid on it and cook as follows:

Pressure cooker on medium for 25 minutes cooking time and 10 minutes cooling times.

Crockpot on low for the day, high for 3-4 hours.

Pot, bring it to a boil. Cover and cook till tender. 45 mins.

After cooking, drain well. Pat dry. Salt and Pepper to taste. In a large fry pan, coat bottom with olive oil and place it on medium high. When drops of water hit the oil sizzling, it is ready. Add cubes to hot oil and brown on all sides. About 10-15 minutes total cooking time.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towel or rack. Squeeze lime juice over them and serve with fluffy white rice and a tomato/avocado salad.

Mojo Recipe

Juice of one lime
Juice of two oranges
Equal water to the lime/orange mixture
A tsp of Cumin
1 minced garlic clove
1/4 cup of minced onion
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix the above and use as mojo. I used water in this recipe for pork because pure mojo will make the pork too tart. This way will flavor the pork without overpowering it. Normally water is omitted and mojo is used sparingly.

This is an excellent recipe to make a day or three in advance, then keep in the crock pot on low and let people eat as they come and go. A great recipe for not a very nice cut of ham.

Harvey Ham (amiboo)

1 (8 pound) bone-in ham-uncooked butt or shank cut (Cooks brand)
1 (8 ounce) jar yellow mustard (can use spicy or brown as well)
1 pound brown sugar
24 dinner rolls, split

Place the ham in a large pot or slow cooker, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 8 to 10 hours (overnight). Remove the meat from the water, and allow to cool. If it has cooked long enough, it will fall into pieces as you pick it up.

Pull the ham apart into shreds once it is cool enough to handle. It doesn't have to be tiny shreds. Place the shredded ham into a slow cooker. Stir in the mustard and brown sugar, cover, and set to Low. Cook just until heated. Serve on dinner rolls.

We like it plain but it could be topped with pickles and/or onion and served with coleslaw and baked beans. You may wish to decrease the sugar but I encourage you to try it as written first, then cut back if you feel it's to sweet. Good even if you don't like mustard.
