Roasted Pork Shoulder (Pernil)
- 2 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Pepper
- 1 tbsp Oregano
- 1/2 tbsp Onion Powder
- 1/3 cup Orange/Lemon or Lime Juice
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Culantro
- 2 envelope Sazon (w/Culantro & Achoite)
- 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 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 400F for 10-15 mins.
- Take pork skin from bottom of pot and place on top of pork.
- Then lower heat to 275F and place into over and cook for 1 hour per pound.
