  1. Puree first 9 ingredients in blender. Then gradually add olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup mojo to small dish; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining mojo into gallon-size resealable plastic bag - add pork , squeese all the air out of the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.

  2. Preheat oven to 375. Heat oil in ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade, scraping off excess. Add pork to skillet and sear on all sides. Transfer skillet with pork to oven. Roast until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees, about 20 minutes. (I like mine done more than this - do to your liking). Remove from oven and tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes.

  3. Warm reserved mojo. Slice pork, tranfer to platter and drizzle with warmed mojo. Delish!
