This was yummy. After having a Cuban Restaurant near our office a few years ago, I was interested in looking for recipes that would remind us of the good flavors.... I used a 2.5LB. pork loin. I made it in the crockpot and because of time constraints and waiting for a few ingredients that needed to be picked up, I started the roast with some chicken broth for the first couple of hours. I poked holes in the roast with a fork. When all the ingredients arrived, I drained out the chicken broth and proceeded per the recipe, except I did add a little bit of high quality vinegar instead of the lemon juice and simply squeezed the juice of half a lime. Yum! I made it with a package of "yellow rice" purchased at the store and used the chicken broth set aside for the rice. I also added a pinch of cumin to the rice. The two dishes blended splendidly! The family had a hard time waiting for it to be ready to eat, it took about 7 1/2 hours in the crockpot. I also made fried pineapple for dessert with ice cream. Note, I used 2.5 lbs pork loin because that's what I had. I didn't reduce other ingredients. Because I used such a lean cut of meat, it was on the dry side.

Oh boy, these are GREAT! They are really tasty, much like the mall pretzels :) Especially the ones that I brushed on the butter and sprinkled the sea salt. I also made half of them with cinnamon-sugar topping. They were yummy. We'll definitely make these again. Thank you!

This soup was easy to make and really tasty. My husband and daughter both liked it. However, don't do what I did - accidentally double the cayenne pepper. Yikes, two days later it was toned down, plus I had to add lemon juiceNext time....perfect!
