Pork Pernil is a flavorful and traditional roasted pork dish originating from Puerto Rican cuisine. This dish typically features a bone-in pork shoulder marinated in a blend of garlic, olive oil, citrus juices, oregano, and spices, then slow-cooked to achieve tender, juicy meat with a crispy, caramelized exterior. Rich in protein, Pork Pernil can support muscle development and provide lasting energy. The inclusion of fresh garlic and citrus adds beneficial antioxidants and vitamin C. However, it is also high in fat, particularly saturated fat, depending on preparation and portion size, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. Pernil is usually served as a centerpiece for meals alongside rice, beans, or salad, making it a hearty and versatile dish.
