Pernil Relleno con Moros y Christianos

This week we have reached to Cuba and I am making exiting dish, what is called Pernil Relleno con Moros y Christianos. This is slowly cooked marinated pork shoulder roll, what is filled with black beans and rice. It was not easy to choose the dish among very interesting choice. There are lot of exiting meat dishes, what were so inviting like Boliche (beef roast filled with Chorizo) and Ropa Vieja (beef braised in tomato sauce). Finally I decided to cook pork.😊

Recipe main idea I got from this blog. I have also made changes in ingredients and preparing methods.

You need 1,5 kg pork shoulder 

Marinade ingredients:
120 ml vegetable oil
60 ml orange juice
60 ml lemon juice
10 pcs chopped garlic gloves
0,5 tsp dried oregano
Sea salt and freshly grounded black pepper

Filling ingredients:
1 tin ca 400 g conserved black beans
2 tsp vegetable oil
4 pcs chopped garlic gloves
1 small onion , minced
100 g white long grain rice
50 ml lime juice
Sea salt and freshly grounded black pepper

Mix all marinade ingredients and let the marinade stand 1 hour. Cut meat open, so it will be possible to fill the meat and make it into roll.
Put meat into marinade and let it stand in marinade overnight. 

For making the filling heat oil in the pan. Add garlic and onion. Fry until onion and garlic are soft. Add rice and 240 ml water. Heat until boiling and lower the heat. Let the mix slightly simmer until the rice is soft. It will take about 20 minutes. If needed add water. Do not let the rice become too soft. Add washed and drained beans. Season filling with salt, pepper and lime juice. 


Heat oven until 150 C.
Put filling in the middle of meat and roll the meat. Close with wooden sticks, so the filling will stay in roll. 
Put meat into the baking pan and add marinade. Cover baking sheet with foil and bake ca  5 hours.Rise oven temperature to 220 C and bake until the meat is golden brown outside. At the time of baking you could spread the meat roll with liquid from baking pan.

Rice with beans and green beans are suitable for serving with this meat dish.
