This garlic roasted pork shoulder is a tradition in Puerto Rico for Christmas. It is crazy good :) If you plan on making it, it must be prepared a day ahead. This gorgeous pork, known in Puerto Rico as pernil, is marinated in citrus juices and garlic and slow-roasted until caramelized and crispy. It can be carved, shredded or pulled into large pieces for serving.
Instructions to make Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil):
- 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.
- 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.
- 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)
- Remove the roast from the oven and marvel at that crust.
- Cover the roast with the lid, and let rest while you prepare sides. I recommend beans and yellow rice in the Cuban tradition.
It's no wonder that pernil is a traditional Christmas dish that's ideal for family gatherings. Puerto Rican Pernil is typically made from a picnic cut pork shoulder, but I used a Boston butt (which is still the shoulder) since that's what was available. Fill each slit in the pork with about a teaspoon of the garlic paste. Sprinkle all sides of the roast with the adobo and sazón (if using) and rub pork with. Rinse your roast and pat dry with a paper towel.
