Ingredients
Original recipe makes 20 servings
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place the garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and olive oil into the container of a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Use a small knife to make several incisions in the fresh ham. Insert the garlic paste into each one using a small spoon. Place the ham in a roaster, and cover.

- While the meat is roasting, place the yucca in a large pot of boiling water. Cook until fork tender, and drain. Serve with pork roast.
