Roast pork with gravy was my favorite plate lunch for years at the lunch wagon across from the street where I worked. I would frequently grill the cook about how he made his roast pork. He gave me plenty of details but I never got it right. That's the breaks.

I've had fantastic luck with a Filipino style marinade that relies on 7UP:

Ingredients:
2 Lbs. of Pork butt or belly (if using pork belly remove the skin)
1 Cup of soy sauce
1 Whole garlic peeled & smashed
1 Small onion minced
2 Lemons
½ Cup of 7UP
1 Tsp. Ground black pepper
5 Tbs. Dark brown sugar
1 Cup of Banana sauce (ketchup)
1 Tsp. MSG (optional)


Greta for skewers or a pork butt roast too!
