So tender! Received many compliments. Should note the Goya seasonings do have MSG.

Made this dish today. Perfect for a Sunday. I used a 3 pound boneless shoulder and halved the ingredients. I still cooked it 3 hours and then browned it. After I sliced/shredded it I let it fall back into the cooking broth. The pork was a huge hit! The crisp parts of the pork are like carnitas.I didn't put the peas in the rice - forgot to buy them and it was still very tasty. I used Uncle Ben's and just left it covered with the heat on very low until we were ready to eat - maybe 10 -15 minutes after it was done. The rice was very tender and perfectly cooked. Also, I think the first few ingredients in the first list are for the sofrito in case you weren't sure. I put the rest of the sofrito into an ice cube tray to freeze and use for later. The crisp parts of the pork are like carnitas. Our house smelled amazing too. Will definitely make this again - maybe for our next group taco night.

I made this last night. Followed the recipe exactly. My husband and his friend ate almost the entire 5 pound shoulder!! It was tender and moist, tons of great flavor! The rice was awesome. I served it with a simple green salad and I will DEFINITELY make this again. I wouldn't change a thing! And the house smelled AMAZING all afternoon! Thanks - again - Paula!

I had a pork shoulder in my freezer and had no plan what to do with it. Then I saw Paula and Aaron on TFN and thought I'd give the recipe a shot. Turns out it is now one of my husband's favorites and whenever my in-laws buy a pig, they give the pork shoulder to us as long as we make the recipe. Thanks for a great, authentic latin flavor meal!

Part of my family in spanish and the other half Italian so we all love good food. I made this recipe for my husband's birthday party and the plates were wiped clean. There was so much flavor in this pork. I have made ones before even marinading them a day before and didn't have half the flavor. This will be a staple meal in our household!!! Thanks for a great recipe that was delicious and easy.

The smell is so wonderful and it tastes so good. I have made sofritos before with tomatoes, but I like it without the tomatoes. I do add one or two jalepenos to make it a little hotter. I have made this several times in the crockpot and it has turned out great. When I come in from a long day, the smell of the sazon is just heavenly. I serve mine on tortillas with homemade salsa, guacomole, and shredded Cotija or Queso Fresco.

Watched the show and just had to try this. Made the roast and rice, totally
suprised my family and friends with this since it was a bit different than my
usual Polish-American style cooking! They were lucky to get any of it after I
tasted it right out of the oven. We all love garlic and it had such a sweet mellow
flavor after roasting. Made extra rice and still had nothing left, we devoured
EVERY LAST BITE!!!!!!!!

Made the roast for the first time tonight. My husband and I saw the show a few weeks ago and I finally made the effort to gather all the ingredients today. I found Sazon at a local Mexican grocer and ended up making Adobo seasoning myself. The flavors came out great....husband even said this was "restaurant quality". Agree with others that there was way too much sofrito (I put the leftovers in the freezer.I used a Boston Butt roast that was just under 5 lbs. The meat came out perfectly based on the cooking times listed in the recipe. This will definitely be made again!

I loved this roast and it was so easy to make. I added a couple cloves of garlic and two medium fresh tomatoes to the Sofrito and served the leftovers as a salsa which we spread over the slices of pork during the meal. Delicious! My only problem was a little different from most of the others on the site..... I had no problem finding the Adobo or the Sazon. My problem was that at my local Mexican market, there were several varieties of each and I was not real sure which one I was supposed to use. Other than that, it was a meal that my family says that I need to make again.........real soon!!
