Dinner Holiday Latin Fusion Recipes Thanksgiving

Slow Cooker Cuban Mojo Pork

Slow Cooker Cuban Mojo Pork

A good pork butt/shoulder doesn’t always have to be cooked in the oven, it can be perfectly cooked in a slow cooker! This method is perfect for lazy or busy days when you want to have time to work on other things or just Netflix and chill. Parties are a great example for a busy day where this recipe comes very handy. This pork slowly cooks away while you prepare sides, appetizers, and even get ready yourself!

Finishing off this pork in the oven to give it a golden crispy top is all you need prior to serving. I recommend using pork butt, boneless because it will be easier to shred later.

I cook my recipes for our home consumption when I made this recipe, I made it with Moro de Gandules also known as Arroz con Gandules. In English it would be Rice with Pigeon Peas. You can also serve with my White Rice and Beans recipe or make use the pork to make Cuban sandwiches! Yes, so many options!

Watch me make it!

    If you have a 7lb pork butt, would the cooking time be longer?

      Hi! Yes. I would say about one more hour on high. Because its almost double the size of what I used, cut it in half. Once you start to shred it, you’ll be able to tell if it needs more time. But if its almost pretty much done, place in the oven on the baking sheet and cook until completely cooked through. I think you should be ok.

This week, we start with "Revoltillo de Huevos con Tomates", in English it translates to Dominican "Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes". Sooo good, it's crazy! 😋

These softly scrambled eggs with juicy tomatoes are perfect when combined with boiled/mashed plantains or even bread, (any of the two work!). So, if you're looking for a delicious meal to cook for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you'll never go wrong with this one. Easy and fast to make!

LATIN RICE BALLS A big thank you once again to my LATIN RICE BALLS
A big thank you once again to my awesome aunt Ines for sharing this recipe with me to share with you!
Here she uses Latin Queso De Freir (frying cheese) along with the mozzarella. This Queso de freir is very popular in Latin America because it fries beautifully. The flavor isn't too bold and the texture is nice and gooey.

When I decided that I would blog as a career, just When I decided that I would blog as a career, just over 2 years ago, I honestly thought follower numbers mattered. That if I had a certain number, that would make my blog considered successful.

I understand today that success can't be measured in numbers. I define it very differently today. Success to me now is knowing that I am bringing value to someone's life. That I am building relationships, not just with my audience but also with others that are doing what I am doing. I try my best to always support other bloggers/video content creators, because my true belief is that my only competition is myself.

I feel such warmth in my heart and joy when a follower/viewer lets me know they made a recipe of mine and that it was delicious. Even better, when they say it reminded them of their mother's or grandmother's and that now they can make them too, this for my Dominican ones.

I want to continue to bring value to you so if there is anything you would like to see me make, it doesn't have to be Dominican or even Latin, let me know and I will go for it!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, it keeps me going.

I always stress about whether I should share more I always stress about whether I should share more about my life. I wish I was more relaxed about it. I always think people don't want to hear it and that all that matters is my cooking. But this is 99% of me, of who I am as an individual today and I think it's important for you to know me as I am and what we go through as special needs family, of course, with no dramatics.
My youngest, 11 yr old non-verbal autistic, has been falling asleep everywhere. At one point ending up in the ER because he was so out of it he couldn't be woken up, another time fainting. A couple of months later, and many tests later, we landed on a diagnosis of sleep apnea. Better than seizures or narcolepsy for sure so we feel good about it. The next step was removing the tonsils (adenoids were removed at 2 yrs old). 
It's been a rough few months but we have tried super hard to look at the positive and this moment is one of them. That being said, here is a video of our oldest making sure his brother is happy and calm by stroking his hair and tending to him whenever he can after getting his tonsils out on Friday. Our little guy sure is a lucky boy. 🥰
