    Cuban pork butt recipe I used is from Serious Eats. Love the fresh mint and oregano with the drippings on top of the meat.

    That mojo pork from Serious Eats is excellent. If you make it again, a fantastic way to use the leftovers is in vaca frita.

    It’s simply your choice of shredded meat (it’s all called vaca frita even if it’s not beef. I don’t know why) and onions cooked until crispy. Use a hot pan and don’t stir it till everything gets really nice and brown. Then smother it with the mojo sauce when you serve it. It’s the best.
