This recipe for Puerto Rican Pork a La Criolla brings together 1 (3 lb) boneless pork loin roast, 1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper, 4 cloves garlic, minced (more if you like…) in a practical dish for home cooking. It takes about 1 hr 35 min to prepare and cook. It makes approximately 6 servings.
This is a delicious way to cook pork. I got this recipe from my boyfriend who is from Puerto Rico. This also makes excellent, moist meat for Cuban sandwiches.
This is a typical dish served in Cuba or Puerto Rico, each country has their own method of preparation. You can flavor this dish with meat, but I left it out as I serve it as a side dish with my meats. It is an easy and healthy short cut and takes about 30 minutes to cook.
