Puerto rican pernil

This is an amazing traditional pork roast recipe from Puerto Rico that you'll want to make again and again. Pernil Adobo is usually served at Christmas.

Beyond being an iconic Christmas dish, pernil (bone-in pork shoulder picnic roast) is also a popular item at parties, events, and weddings or forms part of the regular Puerto Rican household menu. In addition to its fall-off-the-bone, juicy, tender meat, pernil has a unique characteristic: The Cuerito. The pork skin, or cuerito's toasty top, which we test with a knife or cleaver, has a crisp exterior with a crunch that is music to the ears!

Puerto Rican pernil is one of my all time favorite dishes. You can eat this alone or make tacos, tostadas, quesadillas and it freezes well also. This is the best pernil recipe I have ever made and it gives a really tender, slow cooked juicy pork with wonderful flavors. Be sure you save the juice, separate it from the fat and add it back to the meat! Que rico!
