Cuban Mojo Pork ✨

I find a lot of inspiration for recipes online and from cookbooks. This recipe was originally by 'The Food Charlatan' who has a beautiful food blog. If you're out on the interwebs check it out. 👍 I usually change recipes to suit my tastes, cut the calories where I can, and the results are below. There is a lot of wiggle room in this recipe, don't sweat the details, use what you have ... I've played with this a few times now and jogged the ingredients up and down a little here and there and it was still great. Enjoy!
