Fortunately, the exact weight doesn’t matter- just adjust the cooking time accordingly (about 30 minutes/pound).

Thanks, Jessica!

I made more marinade than the recipe specified (almost 1/4 cup dried oregano, 1 and a half cups of sour orange juice) and I braised it for 4 hours in a 300-degree oven. Also served with plantains.

The secret to this is the sour orange juice. I found mine in a local Latin market, but some supermarkets carry it too. For some reason, the OJ/lime combo doesn’t quite have the same taste to me.
