Ingredients
- juice of 20 limes, strained
- juice of 8 oranges, strained
- 4 large heads garlic
- 1 cup minced fresh oregano leaves
- 3 tablespoons ground cumin
- 4 cups roughly chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon parsley leaves
- 5 tablespoons salt
- 1 whole suckling pig (12 to 15 pounds), split and washed
Directions
Place pig, belly down, into a large deep roasting pan. Thoroughly rub pig with marinade. Place in refrigerator overnight, basting occasionally.
Preheat oven to 275 °F. Pour off excess marinade from pan.
Cover pig's ears, snout and tail with aluminum foil.
Prop mouth open with 1½ inch ball of foil. Place in oven and cook for about 4½ hours (20 minutes per pound) or until internal temperature reads 160 °F.
Baste with marinade every 30 minutes. If pig starts to get too dark while cooking, cover with aluminum foil.
