Mexican Pork Roast (Recipes) - DeLaurenti : Recipes - Specialty Food and Wine

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl or zip lock bag. Add the pork roast and marinate at least four hours (best results when marinated for 24 hours) in the refrigerator. Make sure to turn the roast inside the marinade a few times during this process. When you are ready to roast, let the roast come to room temperature and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the roast with the marinade in a roasting pan and cover with tin foil. Roast until a thermometer reads 155 degrees F in the thickest part of the roast. Do not over-roast (about 1 1/2 hours for a 4 pound roast). During the roasting process, check the level of the liquid. If the liquid is reducing too much, add a little chicken broth or water as the marinade makes a delicious sauce. After roast is finished, slice and serve with a bit of the marinade on top.
