This is a simplified version of Havana Harry's recipe; at the restaurant, they deep-fry the pork after braising it.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

5 1/2 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs, excess fat trimmed, cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
2 14-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
1 large head garlic, peeled, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine pork, broth, half of garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper in large ovenproof pot. Cover tightly; bake until pork is very tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to bowl. Boil liquid in pot until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Return pork to pot; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and remaining garlic; sauté until onion is tender and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Transfer pork to plates; spoon some pan juices over. Top with sautéed onion mixture. Serve with Mojo Sauce.
