Pernil pork shoulder
Pernil pork shoulder
Pernil pork shoulder is a delicious and tender cut of meat that originates from Puerto Rico. It is traditionally marinated with a flavorful blend of herbs and spices, such as garlic, oregano, and citrus juices, and then slow-roasted to perfection.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds pork shoulder
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 oranges juiced
- 2 limes juiced
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
- Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan or a large ziplock bag, then rub the marinade mixture all over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Pour the orange juice, lime juice, and olive oil over the pork, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies.
- Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil or seal the ziplock bag, then refrigerate the pork shoulder to marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Remove the pork shoulder from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Optionally, you can pour some of the marinade over the meat for added flavor.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Roast the pork shoulder for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C).
- Return the uncovered pork shoulder to the oven and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the exterior is nicely browned and crispy.
- Remove the pork from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
