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.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but this pernil was amazing! The adobo really made the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pernil came out a little dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The pork shoulder was a bit dry, but the adobo was flavorful. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The pernil was delicious, but I found the adobo to be a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less salt.

I've made this pernil recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The pork shoulder is always moist and flavorful, and the adobo is the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory.
