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.
Very tender roast, wonderful rich gravy. Serve with mashed tatters or French fries. Wonderful as left over for hot pork sandwiches. I’ve made this type roast for over 50 years!
This recipe sounds strange and tastes wonderful. We have experimented with other brands of soda, but none worked as well. You can also cook potatoes and carrots with the roast for a complete meal.
