Pernil (Puerto Rican Pork Roast) - Cooking With Michele®

Step 1

Rub the roast all over with Sofrito and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to marinate.

Step 2

Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the marinated pork on a rack in a roasting pan and add about 1 inch of water to the bottom. Cover tightly with foil and roast until tender, about 6 to 8 hours, checking every couple of hours to add water if needed. The pork should fall from the bone and be tender before serving.
