Pernil Torta Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Place the pork shoulder in a large dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the pork is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

4. 4

   Prepare for Roasting

   Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan. Add bay leaves and sliced onion around the pork.

5. 5

   Roast the Pork

   Cover the roasting pan with foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Remove the foil in the last 30 minutes of roasting to allow the pork to develop a crispy crust. Once done, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
