Hello everybody, it is Jim, welcome to our recipe site. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a special dish, garlic roast pork (pernil). One of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil) is one of the most popular of recent trending meals in the world. It is simple, it is fast, it tastes yummy. It is enjoyed by millions daily. They are nice and they look fantastic. Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil) is something which I have loved my entire 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 first prepare a few ingredients. You can have garlic roast pork (pernil) using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil):
- Make ready 3-5 lbs boneless pork shoulder
- Prepare 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- Take 1 bunch cilantro, minced
- Get 1 lime, wedged
- Prepare Marinade
- Make ready 1/2 cup orange juice
- Get 1/2 cup lime juice
- Make ready 15 cloves garlic, minced
- Take 1 Tbsp cumin
- Make ready 2 Tbsp salt
- Get 1 Tbsp black pepper
- Get 1/2 cup cilantro (or parsley), chopped
- Prepare 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 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.
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.
Place a roasting rack on top. Pork shoulder is marinated with plenty of garlic, olive oil, and vinegar and roasted until tender in this Puerto Rican-style pernil recipe. 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. Rinse pork in cold water and pat dry.
