• 2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 bay leaves, crumbled
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1 lemon or lime, for garnish

To roast a pig Cuban-style, you will have to wash the pig inside and out a day before cooking it. Make the paste of garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Keep the pig in a large pan and rub this paste inside and out. Sprinkle additional seasoning of salt and pepper, along with orange juice and bay leaves. Cover it with an aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. There are specific pig roasting instructions that should be followed. For the first couple of hours of cooking, keep the grill at 350ºF and allow at least an hour of cooking time for every 10 lbs of pig. Preheat the roaster box at 375ºF and bring the pig out of the pan; preserve the marinade. Before you start cooking, cover its ears with foil and baste the skin with olive oil. Place the meat thermometer in the leg while making sure it doesn't touch the bone. Keep basting the pig every hour with the remaining marinade, olive oil, and the juices. You will have to remove the foil off the ears as soon as you reach the halfway time. After the pig is roasted, place it on the platter and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.
