Von Diaz, a cookbook author, journalist and professor of food studies is here to show us how to make pernil. Perhaps the best known and most coveted dish from Puerto Rico, pernil is a pork shoulder that’s marinated (ideally overnight) in garlic, citrus and herbs, then slow-roasted on high heat to achieve a crisp chicharrón, or skin.

  1. Wow I never thought about spraying non stick spray on the foil. I’m gonna do that for the xmas pernil. Thanks chef

  2. classic technique from the old country but you forgot the roasting rack on your roasting pan. this is like culinary101. cooking time: half the weight of your pernil. if its 5 pounds you roast for 5 hours

  3. I've watched countless videos on making pernil, this one by far is amazing, but where can I get sour orange Juice.

  4. Wow! I can't remember the last time I learned so much from, and enjoyed so much, a short cooking video.

  5. AMAZING ROAST PORK THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨

  6. Looks delicioso! I didn’t catch the list of ingredients however. I’ll be cooking a pernil for Christmas, something my Shiba, Lucky, loves as well. ¡Feliz Navidad!

  7. I just made a pernil following this recipe with the exception of brining it in the adobo for two days to let it really soak up those juices just in time for xmas eve dinner and it was amazing. it was juicy and flavorful… people kept fighting over the chicharrón part of the pork as there was not a lot of it left, hahaha I am definitely going to make two pernils for new year's eve dinner. thanks!

  8. I add Sazon for that nice coloring, I also add fresh ground pepper, Adobo, Basil, cilantro. I cover the pan and for the first 3 hours I cook it at 275 degrees covered of course. Than four the next four hours I cook it at 325 degrees. I let it rest for 30 minutes still with the cover on. When I cut into it the meat falls off the bone. There’s nothing like cooking a Pernod for less than 7 hours. Bon apetite’

  9. Pork roast no matter how you do it, is a super crowd pleaser. And it's impossible screw up. It's also affordable for larger gatherings.

  10. This is the only tutorial where the skin isn’t separated on 3 sides from the meat and placed back after heavily seasoning underneath.

  11. I love this lady's cooking style.BUT…I HATE when you DON'T PIN YOUR HAIR UP !!!
    PLEASE…WEAR a net or wear a ponytail !!! Otherwise cool 😎 👌🏿!

  12. Everyone has their own way to prepare pernil, I grew up in a Dominican neighborhood and, It's one of my favorite foods to eat.

  13. Just wanted to say that I followed this recipe exactly and got amazing results, tons of compliments from my family who have ate pernil their whole lives. Thank you! <3

  14. I have mine already marinating for 24 hours. The best way I've found to have it come out tasty on every piece of meat and get more crackly skin is to remove it completely and then put it on top of the meat when you're about to get in the oven after adding salt on top. This also allows you to trim off some of the fat on the meat and in the skin that would make it take longer to get crispy 🤤

  15. This looks good but old school Puerto Ricans who came to New York during the 1940s did not cook it like this and they certainly didn’t put aluminum foil on the pernil or use oranges or separate the Cuervo from the pernil, maybe this is how she makes it but it’s not really authentic Puerto Rican style.!

  16. My nanny used to make this Diega Rodriguez ,all of my cooking experiences are influenced by her and her memory and memories of watching her cook for me.last time she made it for us was in Salinas puerto rico,and yes this is a authentic recipe, flavor proves it. By the way my mom was from Virginia so when I make it here people flip over it

  17. Can I just say thank you for putting the recipe. Most of these greedy creators only care about views. I just want to cook.

  18. "Bon dia", Von Diaz, and thank you for this delish tecipe! What struck me most as a Catalan, is your use of the name "Pernil". This is the pure Catalan word for cured ham, or "jamón ibérico". Somewhere back then, I guess… 😋

  19. My mouth is literally watching just from watching to it. Add rice and beans Puerto Rican style obviously and a like to squeeze all over it 🙌😋

  20. Everyone still is different, but not opening the skin and seasoning under cuero is a no . And it’s a pet peeve to watch people cook with hair down !!
