Asado Con Leche Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 kg. of pork shoulder or butt
• 1/4 c. sherry
• 1/4 c. light soy sauce
• 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 tbsps. brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 3 cloves, crushed
• 1 onion, chopped
• few sprigs each of fresh oregano and thyme, or 1/2 tsp. each of dried
• 1 c. of evaporated milk
• 2 tbsps. butter
• 1/2 c. water

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Butterfly the pork joint. Place it in an oven proof dish and add the rest of the ingredients except for the last three. Leave to marinade for at least half an hour. Pre-heat the oven to 350º F/ 180º C.
2. Take the pork out of the marinade, Put some of the onion and seasoning bits on top of the sheet of pork and roll like a jelly roll. Tie with string. Sear the pork in butter until browned on all sides. Add the milk to the marinade and place the pork on top of it. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 1 1/2 hours or until tender (when tested with a fork, it should easily pierce the meat). When it's done, transfer the pork to a dish and let rest before slicing into 1 cm. thick rounds.
3. Add the water to the cooking juices, puree and strain. Transfer to a pan and cook the mushrooms in the sauce. When done, serve with the sliced pork.
