Mojo criollo marinade, 1 gallon jug. $9, local pickup.
Mojo criollo by the gallon — garlic, sour orange and oregano, the marinade that makes lechón asado taste like lechón asado. We stock it in gallon jugs for one reason: that is the quantity a whole pig actually takes.
Inject it into the shoulders and hams and rub the rest over the skin and cavity, then let the pig sit overnight. For a pork shoulder or a few pounds of chops, a gallon will carry you through several cookouts.
