Lechón Asado is one of Cuba’s most iconic dishes, made by marinating a whole pig or pork shoulder in mojo criollo—a bold blend of garlic, sour orange juice, oregano, cumin, and onions—then slow-roasting it over charcoal or in a traditional caja china roasting box until the meat is tender and the skin is crisp. It’s a centerpiece of Christmas, Nochebuena, and family celebrations, especially in the countryside and western provinces.

Common variations include lechón asado con yuca y mojo, and pan con lechón—a popular sandwich made from shredded pork leftovers on Cuban bread.
