Hello everybody, I hope you’re having an amazing day today. Today, I will show you a way to make a special dish, garlic roast pork (pernil). One of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil) is one of the most favored of recent trending meals in the world. It’s appreciated by millions daily. It’s simple, it is quick, it tastes delicious. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil) is something that I’ve loved my whole life.

Though traditional Puerto Rican cuisine may favor fatty cuts of pork with the skin on, lean cuts like pork loin are just as delicious with the intense garlic rub in this recipe. Serve warm with red beans and rice. Leftover slices make a good sandwich.

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

The ingredients needed to make Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil):

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

I recommend serving this with pinto beans simmered in ham stock and rosemary on the stove while this roasts in the oven. I tend to get psycho with the pernil. I jam in my garlic and wet rub in the holes I stabbed in. Leave that skin on the meat…season it.

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.

Rub pork shoulder all over with lime. Mash garlic into paste in a mortar and pestle or pilon. Place a roasting rack on top. Pernil is a slow cooked pork roast, usually a shoulder, butt or leg, that is very typically enjoyed during the holidays. It is a classic Puerto Rican dish, and also a classic dish in the Dominican Republic, though unsurprisingly there are small differences that mean a lot.
