Mojo is a classic Cuban marinade that not only infuses flavour but also tenderises the pork, making it beautifully juicy, even when pan fried. Start this recipe a day ahead.
- Make Mojo Marinade; Place all ingredients and a pinch of ground black pepper in a screw-top jar. Secure lid. Shake until salt dissolves and mixture is combined.
- Pour 3/4 cup of the Mojo Marinade in a large snap-lock bag. Add pork. Seal bag. Toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight. Add 2 tablespoons oil to remaining marinade in jar. Secure lid. Shake well. Refrigerate.
- Heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove pork from bag. Shake off any excess marinade. Discard marinade. Cook pork for 3 to 4 minutes each side or until browned and cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil. Rest for 5 minutes. Remove remaining marinade from fridge.
- Wipe pan clean. Heat over high heat. Add corn and capsicum. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until just tender and lightly charred. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add remaining marinade and coriander leaves. Toss to combine.
- Serve pork with corn salsa, rice and lime.
