Dominican Pernil (Pulled Pork) is a beloved recipe and usually reserved for special occasions or gatherings.

Pork butt or shoulder can be used. Both will render a delicious and juicy pulled pork.

For this recipe, a 6 to 7 lb pork butt/shoulder with little fat was used to soak up all the delicious seasonings.

Season the pork butt by massaging it with oil, Dominican sazon, and adobo. Refrigerate overnight.

Boil the pork butt in a pot with water for 45 minutes to 1 hour, then transfer to a baking dish.

Cook the pork butt covered for 3 hours at 350ᴼF, basting every hour, then remove foil and cook for 1 more hour, basting every 30 minutes.

Once pulled pork is done. Create your slider. I used cheddar cheese, dill pickles, along with about 2 tbsp pulled pork. In a microwave, melt butter and add chopped cilantro. Baked at 359 F for 12 minutes and enjoy!
