Pernil-Style Roast Pork

This pernil-style roast pork recipe comes from my friends and fellow coworkers from when I was a teenager working in the Kitchen at the Liberty, NY Holiday Inn. Aside from my father and one part-time Chinese chef the Holiday Inn restaurant hired for summer crowds, the rest of the kitchen staff were from Puerto Rico. I was able to not only learn and practice a lot of my high school Spanish, I also managed to pick up some classic recipes and flavors. Over the years, both the Spanish and the love of all foods Latin American stuck, and I used some of my experience to create this Pernil Style Roast Pork recipe.
