There is nothing more quintessentially Puerto Rican than a deliciously tender, slow roasted pork shoulder, known as pernil. This pernil is tender, moist, juicy, aromatic, and shreds like pulled pork with no effort, just a slow cooker!

Slow Cooker Pernil - Puerto Rican Pork - The Happy Wookiee!

Turkey is to Thanksgiving as Pernil/Lechon is to Latin’s on Noche Buena a.k.a. Christmas Eve. Growing up, my Cuban dad would have epic Christmas Eve parties. The men would sit around in the backyard drinking Coronas as they surrounded a whole pig that was roasting underground for hours. Well… liv

Puerto Rican pernil is one of my all time favorite dishes. You can eat this alone or make tacos, tostadas, quesadillas and it freezes well also. This is the best pernil recipe I have ever made and it gives a really tender, slow cooked juicy pork with wonderful flavors. Be sure you save the juice, separate it from the fat and add it back to the meat! Que rico!

Assertively seasoned with garlic, oregano, pepper, and enough salt to form a crust, pernil—a Puerto Rican mainstay—lingers in the slow cooker for 18 hours until browned and fork-tender. It's served with vinegar-based pique criollo, a hot sauce made with peppers, garlic, pineapple and herbs.
