I saw Tyler preparing this dish and I went out and bought the ingredients that I didn't have and a pork shoulder. I marinated the shoulder overnight and put it in my roaster. I also threw a pork loin in the marinade and roasted it along with the shoulder. I had very few leftovers and our middle son called me to rave about how good it was. THANK YOU Tyler for a winner ....

Pernil is one of my favorite P.R. dishes to make. Like Ana I poke holes in mine and marinate it. Unlike Ana, I don't use powder anything. Fresh garlic, freshly ground blk pepper, oregano, salt, I color my oil with the achiote (not Sazon and use vinegar. All poked into the pernil and put into a plastic bag which I put in the fridge for the next day, turning and massaging every few hours. Thanks abuelita Frances and all my tias for my love of P.R. food.

Tyler's Pernil was a breath of fresh air! It is always nice to have a twist on an old favorite. So many compliments, and like Tyler says, it would be a great change from the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, if it was not tradition to have a Polish Easter (my spouse we would have Tyler's Pernil. The Citrus would make it perfect for spring. As William said "many variations from one end of the island to the other". Ok, next Easter no tradition! A nice change for Easter! Cilantro-Citrus Pernil!!

This was my first time making pernil... After reading Ana's review, we decided to let the meat marinate for 2 days, turning occasionally... excellent... makes great meal... sandwiches, leftovers, quesadillas, etc...

I am not a cook, but I did try this recipe and he came out perfect. I know I will make it again. I had so many good comments of this. Thank you very much Tyler.

Tyler has done it again! I have never been disappointed by any recipe of his that I have tried. I've never eaten pernil before, so I don't know how "authentic" it is, but I think every cook puts their own creative touch in any recipe. All I can say is I have never eaten pork shoulder prepared that well. It will certainly be a cut of meat I will buy more often in the future. I also liked Ana's idea of poking holes into the meat to help more of the sauce absorb, but c'mon give the guy a break! This roast was tender, juicy, flavorful and crispy on top. What more can you ask for from a pork shoulder?!?

I have become the only Food Network fanatic. Tyler's Ultimate is my favorite cooking show. I just had to TIVO this episode. Growing up my parents owned a small Puerto Rican restaurant and of course pernil was a menu favorite. I love to eat my parent?s pernil but it does require a lot of time and effort. I am going to give this recipe a chance and I am thinking of inviting my parents over for dinner:- To hear Tyler say that Puerto Rico is one of his favorite islands was an honor. I have to agree with Carol and like William stated More Boricua Recipes Please:-

Tyler's Ultimate is not necessarily the way I remember it being made but the result is definetly awsome in flavor. There are a great many variations to all Puerto Rican recipes, from one end of the Island to the other! I am from the Southern end of the Island and I realy like Tyler's recipes. More Boricua recipes, please!!!!
Thanks Tyler!

Another pure puertorican here--This is a very creative, easy and delicious way for pernil. Yeah Ana, Tyler call it authentic, this is not the way my abuelita cook it but that's the point-it's different and delicious. Tyler Thanks a lot :- Ana good luck with your fine cooking site--hope you take the time to try this pernil recipe and twist some others authentic puertorican recipes.

Respecfuly,
-Carol de Fajardo

I'm a puertorican living in Puerto Rico not in the US and I can tell you it was delicious. Of course it's different because was made by a chef, not by anyone else, but diffrent doesn't mean bad just diffrent. When I do it in my house, and I can tell you I do it at least once a month, I just use canola oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. So, if you don't have all the ingredients he used, you can do it my way too. Either way it's great!!!

Thank you Tyler for been so kind with my island!!!
