{{RecipeIngredients

| [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] to taste
| 2 teaspoons [[Mexican oregano]]
| 12 [[Peppercorns|peppercorns]], crushed
| 3 large [[Oranges|oranges]]
| 1 tablespoon [[Brown sugar]] or to taste

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Remove and discard rind and large amounts of excess [[Fat|fat]]
* Stab the [[Meat|meat]] all over with a small sharp knife or cut a shallow cross-hatch pattern in the flesh
* Make a paste with the [[Juice|juice]] of 1 [[Orange|orange]] together with the [[Garlic|garlic]], [[Peppercorns|peppercorns]], [[Oregano|oregano]] and [[Salt|salt]], reserving the orange skin
* Rub this mixture all over the [[Pork|pork]] and leave to [[Marinade|marinade]] overnight in a cool place
* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 180° C (350° F - gas 4)
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Place the [[Pork|pork]] into a [[Casserole|casserole]] or [[Dutch oven]]
| Squeeze the [[Juice|juice]] of the second [[Orange|orange]] over the [[Meat|meat]] and cover with the skins of the two [[Oranges|oranges]] and a layer of [[Tin-foil|tin-foil]]. cover with a lid and [[Roast|roast]] for 2 hours
| Drain all of the juices and reserve, discard the orange skins.
| Turn the [[Meat|meat]] over, add back 3 tablespoons of the juices and [[Roast|roast]] uncovered for 30 minutes, [[Basting|basting]] now and then. Add more of the reserved juices if it's drying out.
| Now drain all of the juices and reserve.
| Roast for a further 30 minutes, turning once.
| Remove the joint from the [[roasting tray]], cover and rest while you complete the sauce.
| Skim the reserved [[Juice|juice]]s of any [[Fat|fat]].
| Add all of the juices and the brown sugar to the [[roasting tray]]
| Heat and reduce, stirring all the time.
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Slice the [[Meat|meat]], pour the [[Sauce|sauce]] over the [[Meat|meat]] and serve at room temperature. [[Fried]] [[Onions|onions]], [[Potatoes|potatoes]] and a good [[Chili sauce|chili sauce]] go well with this.
===Variations===
Add a few teaspoons of [[Recado de achiote|recado de achiote powder]] for colour and extra flavour.
===Chef's note===
If you are using a smaller joint, I would still use the same quantity of marinade ingredients.
===Left overs===
Refrigerate any leftovers in a [[Lock & Lock box ]]. The meat makes wonderful sandwiches!
