Puerto Rican Pernil (Slow Roasted Pork)
Added 2022-12-21 18:28:30 +0000 UTC*TikTok Recipe*
First off, this was a very time intensive video and PDF. So if you see any mistakes or anything is not 100% clear, please do not hesitate to point it out so that I can explain and/or fix it.
I teased this a few weeks back on TikTok and the feedback was overwhelming. So many people wanted to know how to make it, so here it is. This is the first time I'm posting something like this. It's more of a full on video of me cooking something that is not meal prep related. But I did add the calories and macros for pork shoulder below, just for informational purposes.
Meal prep will continue to be the main focus of my page but I do enjoy the occasional "Let's make something that doesn't involve tracking calories". Is that something you guys would like to see once in a while? Maybe once or twice a month? If so, please let me know.
As we move into 2023, I have a lot of things I want to do with Patreon. More stuff like this but also little side dishes like different types of veggies that you can add to your meals. Kind of like an a la carte meal prep menu. And this would be on top of what I already do. So it would just be more value for your membership :)
Thank you all so much for being a part of this amazing Patreon community, and trusting me enough to support my content. I literally would not be able to do what I do without you guys. And that includes my free content that I provide for all of the non-members. You guys are helping me help others. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you!
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and happy and safe New Year!
Let's make 2023 the best year of your lives, both physically and mentally!
*Nutrition Note*
The calories and macros listed are the nutrition facts listed on the package of the Smithfield pork shoulder that I used. Something like this would typically be made for a large gathering, so most people would not be worried about portioning out or counting calories. But I added the information for anybody that may need it.
If you are trying to track this, keep in mind that the nutrition information is for 4 ounces of uncooked pork. This would be around 3 ounces of cooked for the same macros.

Is the seasoning what makes it Pernil, or the cooking method? My husband loves to smoke pork shoulders so thinking of doing this recipe just in the smoker- would it still be Pernil?
2023-02-23 21:35:49 +0000 UTCYes I think once a month something like this would be awesome! Also the side dishes/ a la carte would be great!!!!!
2023-02-09 02:38:47 +0000 UTCI am wondering how we could do this in a crockpot?
2023-01-16 20:40:47 +0000 UTCThe garlic powder is not listed in the ingredients.
2023-01-07 20:49:31 +0000 UTCI just bought a pork butt roast. 🤷🏻♀️ it was on sale. Never cooked before can I use this recipe but in the crockpot?

2023-01-05 13:17:35 +0000 UTCI know what veggies are thanks! I don’t like them, that’s why I asked for tasty *recipes*
2023-01-02 15:42:59 +0000 UTCAnything green? I love Mustard Greens only available this time of year at my grocery. But colllard greens and kale are also good. Mustard cook the quickest. Collards take the longest. But if greens aren't your thing, then broccoli and cauliflower are always great low cal veggies.

2023-01-02 11:37:30 +0000 UTCI learned how to cook a picnic roast a few years ago when I noticed how cheap the cut of meat was. I only cook for two people. It freezes really well. I like to make carnitas tacos with my leftovers. Toss the shredded pieces under the broiler to both reheat and crisp them up add to a tortilla with your favorite toppings. Fast and delicious.

2023-01-02 11:28:40 +0000 UTCI really like my leftovers on a Cuban sandwich. You could also add some BBQ sauce for a different flavor, and make a pulled pork sandwich.

2023-01-01 22:11:32 +0000 UTCLow cal but tasty veggie sides would be greatly appreciated!
2022-12-30 23:17:12 +0000 UTCIdeas for leftovers? I made this today with long grain brown rice in home made bone broth. I have 10 lbs and am 1 person. I plan to freeze it in 1 lb packages, but any ideas for the leftovers?
2022-12-29 02:41:40 +0000 UTCI get mine from Walmart. There's usually a mix of with and without skin so I just search through the pile.

2022-12-26 18:00:09 +0000 UTCI'm in central FL, what store did you find the meat in that has the skin? I find them without it usually. Should I find a butcher or meat market? Love your content & how detailed you are, Thanks!!
2022-12-24 15:52:42 +0000 UTCI have a question that might have been answered but do you have a good easy to follow/learn on how to do macros? Thanks this looks delicious
2022-12-23 08:34:20 +0000 UTCDo you and your wife have a masa recipe to make this meat in pasteles?
2022-12-23 07:01:46 +0000 UTCNext Puerto Rican chicharon!
2022-12-22 08:53:42 +0000 UTCYes! Sounds great. I would also like any recipes you decide to share. I can always fit them in somewhere
