My attempt at pernil.

[Jason Noble]

Was getting tired of the traditional pulled pork. Decided to give pernil a try. Used the cooks country recipe. Marinaded for 16 hours. I ran the smoker approx 350 with one chunk of cherry. I peeled the skin back and put the paste underneath.

A couple hours in. The skin slid off the side, should of used tooth pics.

Served over rice with a little lime juice and meat drippings. Loved the marinade, tons of flavor. Going to do Cuban sandwiches for dinner tonight. Thanks for looking.

Don't have a clue what Pernil should look like, but I do know when I see something that looks good. Your Pernil looks very tasty

That looks good. Do you pull it like you would a butt?

I think the traditional way is to serve it sliced. It was a little too tender for that.

Looks fantastic Jason. I bookmarked a thread a while back as this looked interesting, not to mention delicious. Kind of forgot about it and never got to it. Think I'll give it a try one of these days.

You made this look delicious I need to research.
