I followed this recipe for a Pernil I cooked up last night. THE BEST PERNIL I ever made. I was a little suspicious of the simple marinade and didn't think it would be very flavorful. Boy was I wrong! The fresh ingredients make all the difference. Full of flavor and the meat literally fell right off the bone. Jeff and Jo, you guys rock! Thank you for this recipe!

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Yay! So glad you enjoyed! And thanks for sharing the results. Totally agree that it's all about the fresh ingredients 😊

[@bxrokk]

Wow! Now I'm going to follow this recipe for Christmas!

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Yes! Feliz Navidad!

Making this as part of a meal of remembrance for our 95 year old Puerto Rican abuela who passed away recently! It's cooking now and smells amazing. She taught me everything I know about puerto rican cooking! Our feast is pernil, arroz con gandules, pan de aqua, spicy ensalada, and a creamy flan for dessert. We miss you Momo!!!

Made this for my neighbor last month, which took some chutzpah since I’m Jewish and he’s Cuban. It was AMAZING. In fact, he called it “Epic.” Making it again this Sunday. Can’t wait. P.S. I hope my Rabbi doesn’t see this post! 😜

[@EvilLeprechuan]

Yeah, I''m jewish too, don't worry, I wont say anything, pernil is one of my favorite hata's XD BTW, if you haven't tried removing the skin to season under it and then again on top, try it, it basically becomes chicharrón, and it's so dang good.

[@andreweston5877]

😂😂😂😂!!!!!

[@kylief3774]

Love your comment so nice to hear kindness. For a change. Enjoy your day.

[@lukemetz4714]

Today was my first time eating or cooking this. Wow. Some of the best pork I've ever eaten. And most importantly, our Puerto Rican guests absolutely loved it. I added additional seasonings to the marinade and instead of water I used a combination fresh orange, lime juice and a little broth. Thanks!

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Awesome!!!

[@marigold1961]

Thank you! In over 40 years, this is the best Pernil I have ever made. My son can't stop raving about it!🥰

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

That’s wonderful to hear!

[@raisedbywolves2385]

I must leave a comment to anyone out there second guessing this recipe.. I bought a 9lb pork shoulder, followed the recipe EXACTLY and I marinated the meat for a day and a half… Preparing the skin as instructed is a must! I am also cooking for someone who is very familiar with this dish since they grew up in Puerto Rico and they were concerned from the start there was no orange in this recipe.. let me tell you that not only did this pork taste to die for, it passed extensive scrutiny and is in high demand now! It’s absolutely delicious and I’ll always make it this way from here on out.

[@mattwod7859]

Good, simple recipe! I used fresh oregano and garlic, marinaded for 36hrs... it came out amazing. 8lb Pork Shoulder, 3.5hrs covered 1hr 15min uncovered (non convection) to crisp the skin. The skin was crunchy and then melts in your mouth.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thats great to hear!

[@valentincolon7600]

God, when he cut that piece I could swear I smelled it and tasted it. Plan on making this when I visit my family on the west coast.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Lol

[@ricpr]

Holy Boricua! I've done this recipe two times in the last month. Every other time I tried a YT pernil recipe, it was a disaster, but this is as foolproof as it gets. My only deviation from the recipe is adding a bit of homemade sofrito and, instead of water in the pan, I rinsed out the blender and seasoning left on the cutting board into a jar and added a few spoons of sofrito to make a garlic / sofrito mixture to add more flavor. Thank you Jeff for the great video!

[@EvansSecret]

Cooked this for my PR in-laws. It impressed my in-laws pride because it was better than most Pernil they’ve had! For the marinade, I just used my homemade sofrito and added extra garlic, salt, and adobo blended into it. Amazing!

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Hahahahaha! One of the best comments we have received!

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

That’s awesome to hear!! Welcome to Puerto Rican food!

Omg….i remember when my mom would cook this pork shoulder. Deliciousness 😋 the best part was the crunchy skin.

[@viviankankam9704]

Coming from New York growing up this was all the rave to Puerto Rican friends. It wud be the first meat gone, I mean not a trace left. I love it it's delicious! It like Ham to the American family.

Awesome!!

[@vilv7]

Hi there, great looking cuerito! I learned to make pernil with my Mom, who learned from her mom, who in turn, learned from her mom and so on. Her ingredients for the Adobo were 2-3 garlic cloves per pound, salt, black pepper, oregano, a bit of oil, all mashed in a pilon; as I still do. The pilon is important because it helps the garlic release its oils and the flavors are better distributed. She would always tell me "if you want the authentic Puerto Rican flavor you have to make the pernil the way I'm showing you". I've always done it that way because I love the wonderful boricua flavor. A few years ago, I went to the Island with my Sons and we went to eat at a place famous for their lechon and my son said to me "Mom this lechon rivals yours" he meant my pernil because I don't make lechon but ok. I felt so proud and I immediately thought of my Mom. The only thing I've added has been a tad of good sofrito, and a bit of recao and that's it. I noticed you didn't add any black pepper to your beautiful pernil. Is there a particular reason why?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Sounds amazing Vilma! Thanks for sharing 😊😊

[@FH-cn3mg]

My wife always says the Pilon is how you know a Puerto Rican made it. 😃

[@azucarlatina52]

Yes black pepper is the main spice along with the garlic. I roasted whole porks every year and my grandmas seasoning of garlic, black pepper, salt, a bit of oregano plus achiote ( annato) oil was all that was used. Any other spice will change the taste.

[@lillianmedina9801]

This is the ultimate pernil recipe. My husband who is Cuban says that PR is the best at making pernil

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

The only thing better than Puerto Rican pernil is when they slow cook the whole hog over charcoal 🤩🤩 Glad you enjoyed the recipe! 😄

[@bounceworldorder9985]

You made this first time pernil cooker get alot of praise at my family Thanksgiving dinner now they want it again for Christmas

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

[@Msvalexvalex]

I used a 12 pound shoulder to make my pernil for Easter and... OMG! The skin is dangerously good! And the meat is so tender. Thanks for this recipe! (Only marinated the meat for 12 hours, but the flavor was still amazing.)

[@coronellopez7908]

It's Pernil! What more can one say! Looking Good!

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thanks! 😊😊

[@mariaconde7414]

I made the recipe the way it was explained (just added more garlic cloves). It was PHENOMENAL! The meat fell off the bone. The inside was moist and flavorful while the outside was crunchy. Best pernil that we have ever made and taste! We won't wait until next Christmas to do it again. :)

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

You can never go wrong with more garlic 😂😂 So glad you enjoyed Maria! And definitely no need to wait until the holidays for more pernil 😋

[@Chulo69x]

More garlic is most definitely the way to go! Any Puerto Rican, I ever broken bread with had a decent amount of garlic in “Everything...” and honestly I couldn't/wouldnt have it any other way!!!
