This recipe was in a local magazine a few years ago. I just got around to making the other day and was amazed at how delicious and simple it was! I was in a rush to run errands the day that I made it so I put it in the crock pot on low for 8 or so hours and it was wonderful. Next time, I'll be following the directions!

Time P1DT3h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lbs bone-in pork shoulder or 5 lbs pork butt
1/4 cup virgin olive oil
2 (1/8 ounce) packets sazon goya con culantro y achiote
2 tablespoons sofrito sauce
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons margarine
3 tablespoons adobo seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, simmer all ingredients, except the water, until mixed. Let cool.
  • The day before you cook, wash the pork.
  • Poke holes throughout the meat (you can do this by cutting small slits with a small, sharp knife); this allows you to place seasoning deeper into the meat and ensure proper cooking.
  • Place the pork in a shallow roasting pan, the pour the seasoning mixture over it.
  • Rub it into the pork with your fingers, forcing it into the slits.
  • Cover the pork with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. (I missed this step because of rushing and just poured the mixture over the roast after placing it in the crock pot).
  • Add the water to the pan and roast the pork in a 350F oven, basting from time to time with pan juices, until tender, about 3 or so hours (or until the meat has reached the internal temperature of 160).
  • Allow pork to sit 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve hot, warm or cold - it's delicious!

Tips:

  • Choose a flavorful cut of pork such as Boston butt or shoulder roast. These cuts have a good amount of fat, which will help keep the pork moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Marinate the pork for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This will help the pork absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Roast the pork uncovered in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Baste the pork with the marinade or sauce every 30 minutes or so to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Puerto Rican Pernil is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender meat, crispy skin, and flavorful sauce, Pernil is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
