Categories     Pork

Time 3h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 lb) boneless pork shoulder, skin on
4 garlic cloves, smashed
fresh oregano
1 bunch fresh cilantro, plus chopped cilantro, for garnish
1 teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt
fresh fresh coarse ground black pepper
2 limes, juice of, plus wedges for serving
2 oranges, juice of
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack insert, and using a sharp knife, score the surface of the meat with small slits.
  • Prepare the adobo: In a food processor, add the garlic, oregano, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add lime juice and orange juice. Drizzle in olive oil and pulse until you have a nice puree.
  • Rub the marinade all over the pork, being sure to get into the incisions so the salt can penetrate the meat and pull out the moisture - this will help form a crust on the outside when cooked.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Roast the pork for 3 hours, uncovered, until the skin is crispy-brown.
  • Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing, covered lightly with aluminum foil.
  • Drizzle with lime juice and garnish with cilantro.

Overall, this pernil recipe was good. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the crispy skin was nice. However, I found that the adobo marinade was a bit too salty for my taste. I would probably use less of it next time, or maybe I would dilute it wi

This pernil recipe was just okay. The meat was tender, but it lacked flavor. The crispy skin was nice, but the adobo marinade didn't really do much for the meat. I probably won't make this again.

I'm not a fan of this pernil recipe. The adobo marinade was too salty for my taste, and the meat was a bit dry. I also didn't like the combination of citrus and cilantro. I won't be making this again.

This pernil recipe was a disappointment. The meat was dry and tough, and the crispy skin was more like chewy leather. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I won't be making this again.
