A few months ago, I posted a pernil asado I made a little while ago on my personal Facebook and Instagram Stories and received many questions and comments. Many of the commenters mentioned they are intimidated by making pernil asado, the succulent Puerto Rican-style pork shoulder, one of the most popular dishes on the island. Don’t be. This roasted pork shoulder recipe is quite easy to make. You just need time and patience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pernil Asado Marinade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your marinade down, you realize how easy it is. This marinade is a mix of my mom and dad’s technique. My mom loves oregano, and my dad loved garlic, so we put plenty of both in the marinade. I tried Loisa organic saz\u00f3n, which gave it a beautiful color and flavor without making it too salty. I love how the scent of garlic and oregano infiltrates the home as the pernil is roasting. The warm scent takes me back to my parent\u2019s kitchen and my childhood memories of Guayama, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
