A family culinary tradition that we make every year is pernil or pork. It is made by my family at Christmas to stuff ourselves till we can’t eat. It is also used the next day or Christmas day as a leftover day where all the family that came to the party comes again to eat and drink and spend more time together.
Pernil is roasted pork it is made with
- 1 ½ – 2 heads of Fresh Garlic
