Pernil is a traditional slow-cooked pork shoulder roast in Latin Caribbean countries. In this Cuban-inspired version, a simple marinade of garlic, spices, and a blend of citrus juices infuse the pork before cooking. Because this recipe calls for a much leaner cut of pork, check it after four hours in the slow cooker—you don’t want to overcook it. This recipe makes the most delectable tacos and is great served with Arroz con Elote y Cebolla.
