Lechon Asado Recipe. A classic Cuban feast traditionally made with a suckling pig but for this recipe we're using a manageable pork shoulder-butt roast. The pork is brined to increase the tenderness of the meat and marinated with the Cuban Garlic sauce Mojo Criollo. The result is a fork tender pork that will melt in your mouth.
