Step 1

Score pork fat-cap by making long, shallow cuts along surface of pork in cross-hatch pattern. In a roasting pan, combine pork, Naranja Agria, oil, garlic, Adobo and oregano. Massage marinade into pork. Marinate, fat-cap-side-up, at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 325°F. Season fat-cap-side with additional Adobo, to taste. Add 2 cups water to roasting pan with pork and marinade. Cover with aluminum foil and let set at room temperature for 20 minutes. Place pork in oven and roast for 2 1/2 hours.

Step 3

Remove and discard foil. Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Roast until skin is crisp and golden-brown, meat is tender when pierced with a thin blade of knife and internal temperature registers 205°F on quick-read thermometer when inserted into thickest part of pork without touching bone, about 2 1/2 hours.

Step 4

Transfer pork to cutting board; let stand for about 10 minutes. Shred pork into large pieces. Transfer to serving platter. Serve with rice with pigeon peas and coconut, and lime wedges.
