Today I'm sharing one of my all time favorite recipes that my grandmother taught me! Pernil - pronounced perr-neel - is a slow roasted piece of pork, usually shoulder or leg, very popular in several Latin American countries. Unlike the Puerto Rican version, which uses pork shoulder, Brazilian pernil is usually made with fresh ham, the fresh center or shank portions of the pig's hind legs. Chef Jose Enrique's version of the Puerto Rican classic pernil asado is extra-flavorful because he marinates the pork in lime and orange juices, as well as plenty of garlic, before roasting until the meat is caramelized and crispy.

Pernil al horno is a Puerto Rican roasted pork shoulder and is typically made during the holidays. Last year we had this in place of the typical bird and served it with a bunch of Latin American side dishes (and a few large pitchers of sangria).

Instructions to make Roasted Pork Shoulder (Pernil):
- Mix all Dry and wet ingredients in large bowl (I recommend doubling the recipe so you'll have extra marinade). Once all ingredients have been combine let marinade rest for 10-15 mins.
- While marinade rest clean Pork Shoulder with Cold Water and Lemon Juice. Once the Pork Shoulder is washed. Cut off the layer of fat completely and place to side.
- Once pork is clean use a meat injector and begin to inject the marinade into the Pork Shoulder.
- Once you've finished injecting the marinade take some of the marinade and pour a little of the marinade into the bottom of large pot. Then take the pork skin you removed earlier add now place skin side down to bottom of pot. Pour. little more of the marinade on of the pork skin then place pork shoulder into the pot then pour the remaining marinade on top of pork shoulder. Then cover pot and let sit for 1 hour then refrigerate.
- I recommend marinating the pork shoulder at least two to three days in advance. At least once a day turn pork shoulder and pork skin. Also re-inject marinade in pot into pork until day you plan on cooking pork.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven at 400°F for 10-15 mins. Take pork skin from bottom of pot and place on top of pork. Then lower heat to 275°F and place into over and cook for 1 hour per pound.
