Pernil (Puerto Rican Slow-Roasted Pork Picnic Shoulder)
Ingredients
  • 1⁄3 cup pimento-stuffed Manzanilla olives, chopped fine
  • 1⁄4 cup minced garlic
  • 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1⁄2 teaspoon table salt, divided
  • 1 tablespoon sazón
  • 1 (9-pound) bone-in pork picnic shoulder
  • subheading: Before You Begin:
  • note: This recipe requires an overnight marinade and a long roasting time, but it is mostly hands-off. Picnic shoulder is a large, roughly triangular, bone-in, skin-on roast from the front leg of the animal. Look for sazón with culantro and achiote (also called annatto); avoid those without salt. If your refrigerator won't fit a roasting pan, refrigerate the marinated roast on a large plate. We like to serve this with arroz con gandules, boiled yuca, and pickled red onions.
