For the Mojo Pork
- In a bowl, combine the Florida Orange Juice, red Florida Grapefruit Juice, lime juice, garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, oregano and black pepper. Whisk until incorporated.
- Transfer the pork to a slow cooker and poke holes all over one side with a sharp knife. Pour in two thirds of the marinade, reserving the remaining 1/3, and toss to coat. Cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is very tender and can easily be shredded with two forks.
- Add the cilantro and mint to the reserved marinade and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat the broiler of your oven.
- Carefully transfer the cooked pork to a roasting pan and ladle around 1 cup of the cooking liquid overtop. Transfer to the top rack of the oven and broil until the top of the pork is slightly charred and crispy, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, pour the cooking liquid overtop, and serve with the fried plantains, sliced onions, and reserved marinade.
For the Fried Plantains
- Preheat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced plantains and cook until golden brown, around 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, around 4 more minutes. Lower the heat to medium and cook, flipping occasionally, until the plantains are soft and a deep brown all over, around 6 more minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and lightly season with a pinch of salt to taste.
