roast pork a la criolla

February 16th, 2009

You might not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes roast pork a la criolla but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat roast pork a la criolla or other high calorie meat dishes every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – within reason of course.

I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Roast Pork a la Criolla (Puerto Rico)

Criolla (also known as Creole throughout Latin America) refers to the first generation born in a new country. This dish was probably fixed by the first generation of Spanish born in Puerto Rico, using oregano which was brought to the islands from the Mediterranean. This pork roast is traditionally made with fresh ham.

1 (3 pound) boneless pork single loin
    roast or boneless fresh ham roast
    (inside round), netted or tied
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon salt

In a small bowl, mix together all seasonings, then rub this mixture on all surfaces of the pork roast. Place roast in shallow pan and roast at 350 degrees F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer inserted reads 160 degrees F. Remove roast from oven; let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

Serves 8.

NOTE: Use leftovers for Cuban Sandwiches.
