It doesn't matter how you serve this roast pork recipe, just be sure to make a big batch! Pork shoulder is marinated with plenty of garlic, olive oil, and vinegar and roasted until tender in this Puerto Rican-style pernil recipe.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have garlic roast pork (pernil) using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil):
  1. Get 3-5 lbs boneless pork shoulder
  2. Take 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  3. Prepare 1 bunch cilantro, minced
  4. Prepare 1 lime, wedged
  5. Prepare Marinade
  6. Prepare 1/2 cup orange juice
  7. Take 1/2 cup lime juice
  8. Get 15 cloves garlic, minced
  9. Take 1 Tbsp cumin
  10. Get 2 Tbsp salt
  11. Make ready 1 Tbsp black pepper
  12. Get 1/2 cup cilantro (or parsley), chopped
  13. Make ready 4 Tbsp olive oil
  14. Take More salt and pepper

Serve warm with red beans and rice. Leftover slices make a good sandwich. Different seasonings but I would never ever put sazón or adobo on my pernil. Too many additives and a fake orange color.

Steps to make Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil):
  1. Combine all the marinade ingredient in a large ziplock bag (2.5 gallon) or bowl. Debone/deskin the shoulder if needed. Add it to the marinade and turn to coat. Marinate at least 1 hour in the fridge but overnight is better.
  2. Remove the roast, and truss with string. This keeps the roast together so it cuts and subsequently cooks better later. Salt the meat side of the roast again. This roast can take a decent amount of salt.
  3. Pre heat your oven to 400F. If you have a convection oven, now is the time to use it. In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and sear the pork skin side up in the dutch oven. Salt and pepper the top (fat side) and then immediately transfer the roast in the dutch oven to the oven and cook at 400F uncovered for 1 hour. After 1 hour, reduce the oven temp to 300F and cook an additional 4 hours (or until the roast is 195F)
  4. Remove the roast from the oven and marvel at that crust.
  5. Cover the roast with the lid, and let rest while you prepare sides. I recommend beans and yellow rice in the Cuban tradition.

I use garlic, oregano, salt , pepper and olive oil and the juice of a sour orange or the juice of a lemon and juice of half an orange. Remove the pork from the marinade and scrape off the garlic and herbs; discard the marinade. Season the pork all over with salt and pepper and transfer to a large enameled cast-iron casserole. A pork shoulder is rubbed with lime and a seasoned garlic paste and roasted until golden brown and crispy in this traditional pernil recipe. Rinse pork in cold water and pat dry.
