A Cuban restaurant in Spain has captured the attention of social media with its mouthwatering roast pork recipe, all without uttering a single word. Apululu Bar Restaurante, located on Viriato Street 39 in Madrid, is the mastermind behind this culinary delight. Their roast pork is a dish that makes your soul exclaim "¡qué rico, asere!" just by watching it come out of the fire.
The journey to this savory masterpiece begins with a high-quality pork leg, carefully marinated in a blend that's at another level: a mix of lime and bitter orange juice, crushed garlic, fresh oregano, cumin, pepper, and a generous sprinkle of salt. This concoction is whisked into a magical elixir and injected directly into the meat, ensuring the flavor permeates every nook and cranny.
The magic doesn't stop there. The pork leg receives a masterful touch by being coated in a light layer of oil and sprinkled with salt to create that crispy skin that crackles with every bite. Then, it's placed in the oven at a low 150 degrees, allowing the magic to unfold slowly, resulting in tender, juicy meat that practically melts in your mouth.
