When we have a crowd over for a game night, we love serving build-your own style meals. Though Puerto Ricans tend toward 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. This gorgeous pork, known in Puerto Rico as pernil, is marinated in citrus juices and garlic and slow-roasted until caramelized and crispy. It can be carved, shredded or pulled into large pieces for serving.

Steps to make Garlic Roast Pork (Pernil):
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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)
  4. Remove the roast from the oven and marvel at that crust.
  5. Cover the roast with the lid, and let rest while you prepare sides. I recommend beans and yellow rice in the Cuban tradition.

It's no wonder that pernil is a traditional Christmas dish that's ideal for family gatherings. Rinse your roast and pat dry with a paper towel. Make the marinade by mixing together the minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, and all of the dry herbs and spices in a bowl. Rub the entire roast with the marinade, ensuring that all areas of the roast are. Got this while living in NJ.
