Me gustan las Navidades...

Hola ,

Me gustan las navidades, Que sepan a Puerto Rico, Comiéndo pasteles y lechón asa'o....Y dándome unos palitos… 🎼🎼🎼

If you are Puerto Rican or just appreciate the culture, you've probably heard this song by; Gilberto Santa Rosa.

There's no better time to bring the bold, authentic flavors of Puerto Rico to your kitchen than at Christmas. This week, we're sharing a traditional holiday recipe that tastes just like home but with a Healthy Rican twist! Perfect for keeping those holiday flavors alive while staying mindful of your health.

Puerto Rican Pernil (Roasted Pork)

Ingredients:

• 8 lbs. pork shoulder skin off or on
• 8-10 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 2 tbsp sofrito
• 2 tbsp Healthy Rican Adobo
• 1 tsp Healthy Rican Sazón
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 1 tbsp black pepper optional
• Salt to taste

Directions:

1- Make the marinade: Add the garlic cloves, oil, vinegar and all the seasonings into a blender and blend well.

2- Using a sharp knife, remove the skin or cut it back like it the skin was a cover. Poke holes into the meat to insert our marinade.

3- Rub the marinade all around the pork, and inside the poked holes.

4- If you keep the skin on, rub a good amount of salt on top of the skin, but make sure to scrape off part of the salt with a knife right before cooking.

5- Cover and keep in your refrigerator overnight.

6- The next day, preheat your oven to 300° F and cook covered for about 5 hours. You can add ½ cup of water to the roaster to add some additional juices for later.

8- The internal temperature should be between 190°F-205°F. The meat will fall apart tender when it is done. For extra crunchy skin you can uncover before it's done, increase the heat to 450°F, and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes, until you achieve desired crunchiness.

9- Remove from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes.

10- You can use a large cutting board and with a sharp knife, chop the meat and place in a serving platter.

11- Add some of the remaining juices on top for extra juiciness and flavor.

We hope this recipe brings warmth and delicious, authentic taste to your holiday table!
