Lechon Asado w/cueritos

[STRIPER LOU]

Gracie and I love to cook but when it comes to Lechon Asado, Pernil or just plain ole pork shoulder she's got it down pat.

A mixture of Puerto Rican spices and chunks of garlic stuffed in and all over and 3 days of marinating make this one hard to beat. Flash cooked at 425 for 20 minutes to seal in the juices and an additional 5/6 hrs at 300 make this fall off the bone amazing!

Arroz Amarillo con chorizo (yellow rice w/chorizo), Habesculas con pimiento y ceboya (beans w diced peppers and onions), and of course platinos maduro's (fried sweet plantains) top it off.

The Cueritos is the pork skin done super crispy. As good as it is I try to stay away from it but on occasion I'll indulge. Almost forgot, and all the hot sauce you can ladle on after cooking!

Im finishing up a brew and feelin low and slow!

At the moment, life is good

All have a great evening,  ..  Lou

PS never to be cut with a knife and only to be pulled off in large chunks or it would otherwise be considered a sacrilege.

Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"?...  "Hell Yeah!"
Oh man, just the thought of sticky sweet fried plantains is making me drool.
Very nice meal indeed.

I'm eating airport garbage.   That looks amazing and next butt I smoke over cherry is getting some. I love plantains.

Thanks all. There are literally hundreds of ways to do pork and I love them all. Sometimes we enjoy the simplest way, just to take advantage of its natural flavors. Not as fancy as some I've seen on here but very tasty none the less.

Besides, can you really do anything to mess pork up?

Cuban sandwiches for leftovers are great or just chop it up on the fine side,  fry on high heat to make it a bit on the crispy side with a drop of EVOO and some Sazon and at the last minute add some crushed pineapple and make taco's. Oh ya baby!

Its all good!

Everyone have a great day,  ..  Lou
