Directions
1.
In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except meat. Place meat in a large plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over meat. Close bag. Turn several times. Marinate in refrigerator 2 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
2.
Remove meat from bag. Discard marinade. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. (Or use an instant-read thermometer to start checking the roast after 1 hour of grilling.)
3.
In a covered grill, arrange preheated coals around drip pan (or follow manufacturer's directions for cooking over indirect heat on your gas grill.) Test for medium-low heat above pan. Place meat on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 hours or until meat thermometer registers 155 degree F. Remove roast and cover with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. (The internal temperature of the meat should rise 5 degrees F upon standing, to 160 degree F.)
4.
Remove strings and slice meat to serve. Use any leftover pork for sandwiches. Makes 12 servings.

Though Puerto Ricans tend toward fatty cuts of pork with the skin on, lean cuts like pork loin are just as delicious with the intense garlic rub in this recipe. Serve warm with Island Red Beans and rice. Leftover slices make a good sandwich.
