Ingredients

🥩 3.5 kg Pork Loin with skin
🧂 3.5 tablespoons Salt
🧄 8 cloves Garlic
🧅 2 Onions
💧 2 American cups Water
🍋 1 Lemon
🥄 Vinegar, Minha Receita "Vinagre de Álcool"
🌶️ Black Pepper, whole peppercorns
🔥 5 drops Cumari Pepper, "Pimenta Cumari"

Instructions

1- Prepare the Marinade:

In a Mondial blender, combine the peeled garlic cloves, chopped onions, juice of one lemon, water, vinegar, black pepper, and cumari pepper.
Blend until smooth.

2- Season the Pork Loin:

Generously apply salt over the entire pork loin.
Use a knife to score the skin and deeply pierce the meat to create pockets for the marinade.

3- Marinate:

Pour the marinade over the pork loin, ensuring it covers all surfaces and penetrates the pierced areas.
Place the pork loin with the marinade into a large clear plastic bag, secure it tightly, and refrigerate for 12 hours.

4- Preheat the Oven:

Preheat a wood-fired oven to 180ºC.

5- Initial Roasting:

Transfer the marinated pork loin to a large metal roasting pan.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

6- First Bake:

Place the covered roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for 2 hours at 180ºC to ensure tenderness.

7- Browning:

After 2 hours, remove the aluminum foil.
Continue roasting uncovered for another 1.5 hours to allow the skin to become crisp and brown.

8- Serve:

Once roasted to a golden-brown color with a tender interior, remove from the oven.
Let it rest for a few minutes before carving.
Serve warm.
