This is without doubt the best pork roast I have had in years. It reminded me of the full flavored roasts my grandmother made. My husband couldn't get enough!!! The fresh oregano makes a huge difference in flavor, totally unlike the dried kind. I'm tempted to try fresh cilantro as an alternative, which would make it more like the roast pork at our favorite Cuban restaurant.

Made this for dinner and it turned out to be a hit. I added paprika to the adobe mix but next time I would reduce the amount of salt. I marinated our 2 1/2 lb. pork overnight, let it sit room temperature and baked it for 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees. Don't know why the difficulty says intermediate because it was really easy to make. Make sure you score the meat and get the adobe mix into the slits for maximize flavor. I served the pork with Spanish rice and corn.

I always wanted to make Pernil and this worked out great! I actually had to use a lot less salt due to a diet restriction and it still came out amazing--easy recipe to follow a lot less cooking time then some others...I always look out for Tyler Florence's recipes!

Recipe was easy to follow and prep was a snap, thus the one star. However, the salt content was way too high for the family to enjoy eating. I cut off top crust and even had to rinse in hot water in desperation to salvage the meal and still way too salty. Not a keeper for us.

This was OFF THE CHART FANTASTIC!! The seasonings smell good by themselves. The meat was tender and juicy, and no one could get enough. This is a definite party pleaser. I will do this for years to come!!

this is awesome...great flavors & crunchy crisp skin!
for those confused about 'adobo', this is what you have created when you mashed together the garlic, vinegr, oil, s, p, & oregano. You don't need to go out and buy anything else.
enjoy!!

The directions call for adobo, but it is not in the ingredient list. So I didn't have it when it was time to go. So I threw in some cabernet and maple syrup for an illogical substitute. Very delicious.

Excellent!!! Have made this twice now, exactly as written and it's been perfect both times. The only thing I would change is cooking time (use a thermometer rather than time to determine doneness, as three hours would've been too long.
