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!
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Dalton Alfonso thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Came out delicious! Take it from this Irishman and dice up a couple potatoes during that last hour and put them in that flavored water…unbelievable flavor in them
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.
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! 😜
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.
I love this recipe, but there is one simple trick to improve it. To prevent the foil from sticking to and potentially spoiling a perfect cuerito, simply apply some cooking spray to a sheet of parchment paper. Then place that as a barrier between the skin and the aluminum foil before wrapping. Works like a charm.
White guy from California cooking for his Puerto Rican wife from New Jersey. My rub became rather complicated over the years, now I'm inspired to go back to basics. Also removing the skin is something I've never heard of. Time for a Summertime Pernil.
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!

Just made pernil , following your recipe. I have cooked over a hundred pork shoulders throughout the years, this was hands down the best I’ve ever had and I have never ate Puerto Rican food before. I made y’all arroz con gandules to go with it, also amazing.
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.
I discovered this recipe three years ago, and refer to it every year. My husband is Puerto Rican, and he says it's just as good as his mother used to make it.
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. :)
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!!!
I did it!!!!!! I don't cook often! I was nervous! I am so proud that I did this!! It was SOOOOO good! Now I want to know what else I can make!! I wish I could add a picture here! Wow!! It came out PERFECTLY!! Thank you for this. I added a bit more garlic... but otherwise, I cooked it exactly the same! Thank you! Thank you! ❤Thank you!!!! 😊 🥰😁
I tried this technique for Thanksgiving. What a hit.. everyone loved it. Even the skin people were amazed of how good it came out.. thanks for your tip. 👍
Ive used this recipe for the pernil. 4xs now to be exact. u have mastered this pernil. your techniques such as taking the skin off and scoring the skin. Genius! Thank u so much for taking ur time to share you skills and knowledge with us.
Very well made. Many people out there change the marínate and makes a big difference. This is the best and simplest marinade. The way mommy used to make it. I’m glad people outside the circle enjoy this authentic dish from back home. Thank you!!
I never thought I'd be able to make a pernil - seemed complicated! But with your recipe, I've made pernil several times already, and it's always a hit with guests!! I also make Puerto Rican-style cauliflower rice to go with it (to keep it low carb). Awesome, awesome!! Thank you so much for demystifying this wonderful, traditional dish! 😋
My wife has made pernil for Christmas every year. She has tried getting that crispy skin but hasn’t been able to achieve this until she tried this recipe. Wow! My stomach and tastebuds were so happy! Everyone was impressed and happy. The recipe was a couple of steps but pretty simple and as long as you follow the steps you achieve the amazing flavor and crunchy skin. Thanks so much! My wife said she will be making this recipe every Christmas from now on :)
I used this recipe and this was by far the best pernil I ever made! It beats all my aunts' recipes and that is a hard task! Taking the skin off was the game changer for me. Thanks so much, this will forever be a staple for holidays and the recipe/method I will pass on
Been using you recipe for years and it’s a hit , I added my personal touch and instead of more water I add naranja argria , I serve it from the dish with the juices people absolutely love it
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 haha! Awesome!! It’s well-deserved! I have generations of family in PR now who are blown away that this white guy could whip out Pernil like that!
Made this for a Hispanic heritage month and man did it come out amazing. Followed directions exactly and it came out amazing. I shared your link with everyone who asked; simply amazing. Thank you for the recipe and for sharing this will be part of my holidays for years to come (now that I know I can make it!)
I made this for Christmas this year. It was one of the best things I've ever cooked in my life! I absolutely recommend this recipe to anyone interested in pernil!
Cooking food for the holidays is what we Puerto Ricans do . But this year 2020 isn't like any other year because now we've gotta be extra careful because of that damn Covid-19 . So please try to keep yourself and loved ones safe 💓 when at the table . Peace, love and much respect to you , your family and friends . God bless.
This recipe is so perfect...it is foolproof!! My wife is Puerto Rican, so I normally stick to making Italian Specialties, and she normally cooks every style, and of course good Puerto Rican specialities....For Mothers day, i wanted to surprise her and my family...so, I took the deep dive into your recipe!.....Perfect results, just following your step by step...Everyone was happy! I want to thank you posting such an efficient and easy to follow recipe! Perfect results! Thank you so much! Rob
Very well presented, clear and easy to follow instructions, just as important as enjoying a great recipe! I will be making this one for Christmas. Felicidades y Feliz Navidad!
I followed your recipe exactly, and my pernil came out delicious. Flavors were more less the same as before, but the crispy skin and overall juiciness was truly amazing. Now I'm the designated pernil cook of the family. Thanks for sharing your secrets.
O-M-G! 🤯🤤🤤🤤. You guys are Thee Best!!! Thank you for the great recipe. You guys should be in the Pernil Hall of Fame. Your recipes are awesome. Thanks 👍
I'm Dominican and my family always par boils it and adds sofrito to it. I wanted something different and followed your recipe. Omgg it's truly the best, soft, moist and scoring the skin makes it really crispy. Thank you.
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.
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?
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.
When you said, "Delicious", it looked like you were about to cry. I've had many kinds of food that made me do that. I've never had it. I will try it. Something new for the Christmas table.
Wow! What a beautiful looking pernil. I’m definitely making this on Christmas. You can’t forget arroz with gandules and pasteles with potato salad on the side!😀 Thanks Jeff for the post!
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen It was PERFECT! I used the leftover meat with some amazing ham and sausage to fill my pastels which were heavenly! I love the holidays, but I KNOW I need to get my butt to the gym and shed these holiday fat pounds before I bust. lol
This is hands down the best way to make this!!! I came across your video late last night. I just made it today for my family, and they all loved it!! THE SKIN!!! Super crunchy all around! The pernil came out really moist. Just perfect! Thank you soo much for this! I’ll never make it the regular way again!!🙏🏼💃🏼
I just wanted to grabbed it from my screen and take a chunk out of it...right now!!! I love 'Perníl' with 'Guineos Verdes' or some 'Mofongo'. *Jeff & Jo's PUERTORICAN Kitchen's the place to get the Best Boricua Food, I am honored, and very hungry for my favorite 'Perníl' platter. Jeff & Jo's where any dish of PUERTORICAN Cuisine is simply 'Bien Rico'.!🇵🇷.*
I keep coming back every year for a refresher, I thought I use to make it good but after following these easy steps man it comes out great, and the skin this has become a family favorite enjoy
Looks delicious & seems like a very easy doable recepie to follow. I LOVE pernil, but my bf does not eat anything pork-related but next time I visit my family in Brooklyn I'm def going to try this. Yes please! Omg I want some pernil right now.... 💃 Thank you for sharing, I appreciate this recepie/technique 👍
I tried this recipe this past weekend and I can confirm that it's AWESOME! The marinade is simple to make and the finished product is delicious. Highly recommend. Just a note, when you're baking the pork at 450 just keep an eye on your pan. I destroyed mine because the fat burned haha. I should have kept adding more water. I will be using this recipe from now on to make pernil.
Made this Penil recipe for the family, and they said I absolutely knocked it out of the park in terms of flavor and texture, but with a few variations, For the steaming phase, I lined the bottom of the roasting pan with banana leaves I cleaned earlier before adding water; This ensured no tin foil would stick and it adds flavor. Also draped the top part with leaves as well. The actual cooking time turned out longer than in this video, the final 450 degree roasting with the foil and leaves off took about 1 hour and 45 minutes, I also used a bakers torch to really crisp up the skin. Results were super crispy skin with fork tender meat. And also, guests loved that it wasn't overly salty!. definitely make your own Adobo, his recipe is great, but add rosemary and thyme to the spice mix.
I’m making a pernil this Saturday for my Bible study group Christmas party and I can’t wait for them to taste it, and of course this is the recipe I’m following again. This is the best ever! ❤❤ Thank you and God bless❤

Awesome!
I made this today for the first time ever for my family for Christmas. It came out PERFECT! Thank you for this video. 💖🎄
I comeback to this video every time I made pernil to make sure is the best pernil ever!!!!!
Me and you both, my Puerto Rican father in-law always tells me it's the best he's ever had.
Made this last year. My mom said it was the best pernil she ever had. Already prepped a 10lb one for Christmas dinner!
love the sound of the cuero popping
You know it!!! Nothing like it!
Thank you! In over 40 years, this is the best Pernil I have ever made. My son can't stop raving about it!🥰
That’s wonderful to hear!

When he bit into the cuerito and I heard that crunch i wanted to put my hand through the video and get me some
Hahahaha!! Gotta make some now!
Hahaha, I felt it in my ❤.
Cutting off the first bit made my mouth water
My mouth and eyes watered at the sound of the crunch.
Yeah, feel the same way....I buy chicharrones all the time....I gotta make it myself now
This is how my mom taught us to make it, simple ingredients but brings so much flavor. 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Agreed! Gotta let the pernil shine 😊
Your right,I made it this way and came out so good🇵🇷

It was PERFECT! I used the leftover meat with some amazing ham and sausage to fill my pastels which were heavenly! I love the holidays, but I KNOW I need to get my butt to the gym and shed these holiday fat pounds before I bust. lol
Putting a damp kitchen cloth under your cutting board will keep it in place. Looks delish!
Thank you and thanks for the tip.
I am puertorrican and this makes my mouth so watery. It looks perfect ❤
Thank you!!
This is hands down the best way to make this!!! I came across your video late last night. I just made it today for my family, and they all loved it!! THE SKIN!!! Super crunchy all around! The pernil came out really moist. Just perfect! Thank you soo much for this! I’ll never make it the regular way again!!🙏🏼💃🏼

So happy to get to share it with you! Food has a way of always bringing back the best memories 😍😍
Pernil is the food of the Gods, looks delicious
Hahahaha! Thank you!!
Looks delicious & seems like a very easy doable recepie to follow. I LOVE pernil, but my bf does not eat anything pork-related but next time I visit my family in Brooklyn I'm def going to try this. Yes please! Omg I want some pernil right now.... 💃 Thank you for sharing, I appreciate this recepie/technique 👍
Yay, glad you enjoyed!! And hope you get a chance to get some pernil soon 😄
Make one for yourself and friends and family and throw some chicken on for him.
I tried this recipe this past weekend and I can confirm that it's AWESOME! The marinade is simple to make and the finished product is delicious. Highly recommend. Just a note, when you're baking the pork at 450 just keep an eye on your pan. I destroyed mine because the fat burned haha. I should have kept adding more water. I will be using this recipe from now on to make pernil.
Thank you for the great feedback!! Sorry about your pan 🤭
Waooo. I love it. ‼️🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️🤗🤗 mi Bella ISLITA del encanto!!!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷‼️‼️‼️
😁😁🙌
OMGoodness! TY for sharing your culinary expertise!
Thank you so much!!
So glad i came across your video. I have been cooking for over 50 years and never knew i was cooking my pernil wrong. Thank you so very much.
You’re welcome!
You wasn't doing it wrongn, now, you just doing it the PUERTORICAN style way 🇵🇷🇵🇷 . Enjoy
Made this Penil recipe for the family, and they said I absolutely knocked it out of the park in terms of flavor and texture, but with a few variations, For the steaming phase, I lined the bottom of the roasting pan with banana leaves I cleaned earlier before adding water; This ensured no tin foil would stick and it adds flavor.
Also draped the top part with leaves as well. The actual cooking time turned out longer than in this video, the final 450 degree roasting with the foil and leaves off took about 1 hour and 45 minutes, I also used a bakers torch to really crisp up the skin.
Results were super crispy skin with fork tender meat. And also, guests loved that it wasn't overly salty!. definitely make your own Adobo, his recipe is great, but add rosemary and thyme to the spice mix.
Nice!!
I just cooked it again. 2xs in 2 weeks! The hard skin has me hooked! Perfect recipe 🥳🥳🥳
The skin isn’t hard or else it wouldn’t be edible you dolt- it’s crispy.🤦♂️🤡
I’m definitely cooking this for New Year’s Eve dinner! 🤤🤤
Good luck! 🙌
I’m making a pernil this Saturday for my Bible study group Christmas party and I can’t wait for them to taste it, and of course this is the recipe I’m following again. This is the best ever! ❤❤ Thank you and God bless❤
You are welcome!! Awesome!
I'm making it today for our bible study! 💜💜💜
Muchas Gracias, saludos desde Houston. ¡Dios te bendiga!
