    My family and I LOVE this recipe. I cook it in a dutch oven and it just falls apart. We cook an extra big shoulder and use the leftovers for burritos another night. The rice recipe is not my favorite and I don't eat plantains, but the pork is THE BEST. And with meat so expensive these days it's nice to find a great recipe for meat that is under $l a pound.

    My Husband loves all spanish food. He frequents all the spanish restaurants in our area. Since we live in Orlando there are plenty. I have made this several times and he loves it. I have not tried the crema though. I have also taken from this recipe and mixed it with a Tyler Florence recipe and it was fantastic also. He loves it so much Im making this again tomorrow. Mmmmmm

    It might be puerto rican roast pork only if the sour orange is left out. It is something most puerto ricans dont use. As for the black beans change that to pigeon peas or red beans which is what a typical puerto rican meal is, Roasted pork shoulder w/yellow rice and pigeon peas or white rice w/red beans and fried sweet plantains

    This recipe was only ok. The pork did not have a lot of flavore even with an overnight marinate. The crema did not set up. The beans and rice dish was better but also a bit bland. I would not make this again.

    The ingridients used for Puerto Rican -style rice and black beans are not even close to what is the real recipe.

    para un buen arroz. se debe prepara un buen sofrito con culantro , ajo , cebolla, pimientos morrones, agies dulces y aceite de oliva. sofreir, luego a?adir las habichuelas negra JAMON SE COCINAR Y carne de cerdo y sofreir luego a?ada sason con color,sal y el arroz y por ultimo el agua y tapar y dejar que se cocine por 30 a 45 minutos a fuego mediano/bajo. eso es arroz acon habichuelas negras. El sofrito es la base mas importante.

    I'm Puerto Rican and a pretty good cook of authentic island dishes. This Pernil recipe may be different from the traditional borinquen recipe but it was delicious - in fact, one of the best tasting pernil's I've ever tasted - and worth emulating and keeping for future reference!
