PERNIL - PUERTO RICAN PORK ROAST
Steps:
- For 6 lb. roast, use above quantity of seasonings. Rinse the pork under cold running water. ADOBO RUB: adding whole garlic cloves (not sliced) to a morter & pestle. Mash; add olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano and vinegar. Stir and mash to a course paste. PREPARE MEAT: Make 25-30 slits 1" wide by 2" deep in meat on all sides, top & bottom. Using handle of small tsp, push some sofrito into each slit. Next, put a slice garlic in each slit with sofrito. If you have extra garlic slices left, just double up if not enough, slice some up. Take ADOBO PASTE and rub all over pork. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight (Or at least a few hours). TO COOK: Remove from refrig 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 350(F). Unwrap pernil. Put in roaster, add 2 cups wtter; covered loosely with foil. Cook 30 - 35 mins per pound (5 lb. = 2½-3 Hrs; 6 lb. = 3-3½ Hrs; 7 lb. = 3½ -4 Hrs. Internal temp of 185-190F). After 2 hrs uncover and baste. Continue cooking, uncovered basting every 30 minutes. If you run out of juices, just add 1-2 cups water. Once pernil is done, remove from oven and let rest 15 mins before carving. This lets it cool and allows juices to stay within the roast. ENJOY! Eat as a meat dish with rice or in CUBAN SANDWICHES.
