The best Puerto Rican-style Pernil Recipe. Roast pork shoulder with super crispy skin.

Puerto Rican pernil is one of my all time favorite dishes. You can eat this alone or make tacos, tostadas, quesadillas and it freezes well also. This is the best pernil recipe I have ever made and it gives a really tender, slow cooked juicy pork with wonderful flavors. Be sure you save the juice, separate it from the fat and add it back to the meat! Que rico!

This Puerto Rican pernil recipe features marinated pork shoulder, which is roasted to perfection and served with bits of crispy pork skin.

Pernil (Puerto Rican roast pork) is marinated and slow-roasted, yielding crispy, crackly skin and tender, juicy, incredibly flavorful meat.

Beyond being an iconic Christmas dish, pernil (bone-in pork shoulder picnic roast) is also a popular item at parties, events, and weddings or forms part of the regular Puerto Rican household menu. In addition to its fall-off-the-bone, juicy, tender meat, pernil has a unique characteristic: The Cuerito. The pork skin, or cuerito's toasty top, which we test with a knife or cleaver, has a crisp exterior with a crunch that is music to the ears!

Pernil asado, the Puerto Rican style roasted pork shoulder, is an easy main dish that works not only for special occasions but for meal planning or feeding a whole family.
