¡El Cubaníto!

To boot, sweet oranges are used rather than sour and paired with Meyer lemons and limes). The Cubaníto definitely has his own technique too…rather than brining for 12 hours, this little guy brines for 1 ½ hours. The Cubaníto has been told it’s necessary to marinate for at least 2 hours–well he marinates for 1 hour. He’s also been told that once he has pork shoulder he’ll be ready– well he has pork tenderloin and he just can’t wait. Oh and forget about telling the Cubaníto to get slathered in butter, he’s brushed with mayo for an equally, crunchy golden, and flavorful crust. Well, little brothers may do things their own way. Luckily, it usually works out great and this is one of those times. The Cubanito may be eager– but he’s just as tasty as his big brother the Cubano! So skip the pork shoulder, head for the pork tenderloin and let’s cook!
