Pernil is a wonderful thing. Be sure to get the picnic shoulder cut
that includes the thick cap of fat. You may be tempted otherwise
because you're only cooking for two, but resist that temptation. Just
tell your friends that you'll be happy to take away the "excess"
portion. Leftovers are great reheated with gravy for hot pork
sandwiches, sliced cold for pork sandwiches, diced for fried rice,
chopped for tacos, the possibilities are unlimited because the pork
itself is really delicious. For this, too, there's no such thing as
too much garlic. -aem
