Masitas de Puerco are gently fried pork chunks and one of my favorite authentic Cuban recipes. You can make this dish using pernil, pork loins, or even country style ribs. Regardless of what you use, this easy pork recipe is to die for! Don’t confuse these with chicharrones which are also just as tasty! Masitas de Puerco are fairly easy to make and they essentially cook themselves. Enjoy this dish with yuca, plantains, tostones or even mashed potatoes! Give it a try and don’t forget to subscribe.

Can we use pork steak ?
❤️
i love it 🥰
I marinate my pork the exact same way but I put ham seasoning in it and I fry it in Bacon fat from the morning which is basically the same thing as lard and it comes out tasting like bacon that's also how I fried pork skins
I can’t wait to try this . This is one of the best cooking tutorial I ever seen and your voice is nice and your instructions are so good . Thank you so much for sharing this . ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m definitely trying this recipe. It looks delicious. Is it okay to marinate it overnight instead of just 20 minutes? Thanks.
Made this and a big Hit a the family!!! Thank you Zee!!!😎
This Tampa girl misses Cuban cooking, and I had no idea how to cook it until now! THANK YOU for your channel! I made my very first Cuban meal last night using your videos and recipes, and it was fantastic!
Thank you for this video! First time cooking this for 12 people. How much meat and ingredients do you recommend I buy? Thanks!
Chef Zee, why didn’t you just add the onion to the pan that you cooked the pork in to pick up some of the fond? It would have been one less pan to clean. Or is that breaking a Cuban rule? I think I will make this with pork riblets. Thanks!
Yes thank you
Omg I love all your recipes !!
I used your recipe and it came out so good!
thank you I will be trying this, you did a lot of "going ahead" in this video btw. No MSG ?
Your thumbnail picture doesn’t look good. The onions look like tapeworms.
Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way.
Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions!
; )
Hey!!! Love the recipe! Im actually trying it RIGHT NOW! It seems though that i added too much oil, I’m guessing that is why the water won’t evaporate! 😬 I doubt you’ll see this but if you do I’d love to know how to save the dish!!
My favorite Cuban dish when I go out for it. I made this for a dinner party and it was a hit. Made this gringo look like a star! Making it again tonight for myself. Thanks for the great easy to follow recipe!

Did it today, wish i could share pirctures. It was sooo good. I made this , fried longaniza, white rice and also your habichuela guisada. Everything was perfect! Thanks
I am Cuban and I love your channel. I was taught that masitas only take salt no other seasoning but these look so good I think I will try this way. Thank you
