Ingredients

  • 700 g boneless pork shoulder, cut into 3-4 cm cubes
  • 60 ml orange juice
  • 30 ml lime juice
  • 2 căței garlic, minced
  • 1 linguriță cumin
  • 1 linguriță dried oregano
  • 1 linguriță salt
  • 0.5 linguriță black pepper

Steps

  1. In a large bowl, combine pork cubes with orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally 2 hours in the fridge.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the pork cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed. Reserve any remaining marinade.
  3. Cook for 25-30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes, until pork is tender. Add a splash of the reserved marinade if it looks dry.
  4. Increase air fryer temperature to 200°C (390°F). Cook for another 8-10 minutes, tossing halfway, until the pork is crispy and browned on the edges.
