Pernil Por Kilo

Description

This succulent piece of meat is a holiday staple in Venezuela. It’s served with hallacas (Venezuelan tamales), pan de jamon (Venezuelan ham, olive and raisins stuffed bread) and ensalada de gallina (potato and chicken salad).

But to be honest, Pernil wasn’t always my first option when it came to holiday dishes because it took such a long time and effort to make. I mean like 4 to 6 hours, depending on how big the pork is, of roasting and basting. That is why I got so excited when I discovered that I can prepare Pernil without slaving over.
