Puerto Rican Style Pernil (Roast Pork) image

Pernil is roasted pork shoulder, seasoned to the max. It is served with rice and beans or sweet plantains. Cold Pernil is sliced thin paired with Swiss cheese, pickles and ham to make the famous Cuban sandwich. I found this recipe online and have made it twice now. I love it and so does my family.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pernil didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
