this was a good recipe. I did add some vinegar as other readers suggested. The meat tasted really good and fell apart when I went to serve it. I'll consider it a success.

This recipe was very good. I used a pork loin. I used adobo instead of salt and added a bit of vinegar to the paste. Besides inserting the paste into the slits, I also rubbed it all over the roast. I will definitely make again!

it was very delicious. made mine without the vegetable on the side. i also followed the review of india520 as the cooking half way (with fat side down first - covered) then uncovering and turning rightside up for the last half in a 425 deg. oven. -very, very good, thanks!

This was the best pork roast I've ever had! I made several small cuts and filled with the paste. The rest I just rubbed over the whole roast. Yum!

Great recipe, I used the suggestion to add some balsamic vinegar and it added the punch needed. The only thing I didn't care for is that the garlic past turned green..is that normal? In any case, very tasty and highly recommended.

Love this recipe! Easy and quick to prepare. The only change I make to it is I slow roast it at 325 degrees for 2.5 to 3 hours. It comes out very thender. Next time I will try the vinegar too the last reviewer suggested. It sounds like a great idea.

I used a pork shoulder and followed the recipe perfectly. The roast was decent, not excellent.

Yummy! Similar to the one I make, but I use Adobo seasoning and 1 packet of Sazon con achiote and rub the meat vigorously with it!

I make mine in the Reynolds Turkey size oven bags (this is for very large fresh hams). The meat is very tender and it seems to take less time to cook. Also, when cutting into the roast to put the spices in, I pierce a sharp steak knife as far as possible and throughout the roast . That way you can really get the flavor in.

might make again, but next time I will marinate this for a few hours, the outside tasted good, but this middle was plain. Im not a fan of pork, but I had to have a bite, it looked great coming out of the oven.

This was amazingly delicious. I followed a reviewer's recommendation and added a tablespoon of vinegar and it was so good. The outside was a bit salty but that allowed the inside to be moist. I served mashed potatoes instead of yucca.

I sauteed some onions and garlic in oil to put on top of the Yucca along with some salt, paprika, and herb mixture. This blended well with some Yellow Rice I made that contained onion, garlic, and saffron. I think next time I will include a little of the paste spices from the pork on the rice as well. The flavors of all the dishes blended well together and made an absolute "Party in your Mouth".

This recipe reminds me of Christmas Eve family gatherings thrown by my parents!! Excellent. I added 1 tablespoon of white vinegar (as per my parents' way of cooking it). I didn't change any of the ingredients but I have a great way of cooking it that I adapted from my parents. The pork should be cooked 1/2 hour per pound (10 pounds = 5 hours)--Cook with the fat side down in a covered roasting pan for the first half of the cooking time, then uncover and cook with the fat side up for the second half of the cooking time. It'll turn out moist, very well cooked (which is extremely important when cooking pork!) and the fat side will be nice and crunchy, which, coming from a Puerto Rican family myself is the part that most people covet!! Enjoy everyone, and THANK YOU for an awesome adaptation of a family staple!!!

This roast was FANTASTIC!!!! Started by seasoning with Paula Deans "house seasoning" (1 cup Kosher salt, 1/4 cup garlic pwdr and 1/4 cup black pepper) and browning in large dutch oven on top of the stove on med/high heat. Cut the salt and pepper in half and increased the garlic to 10-12 cloves. Roasted at 325 for about 4 hours but determined when it was done with a meat thermometer. This one is definitely a keeper and will be on the table with our other meats on Christmas Day!!!

This was a very good pork roast. I used a 5lb shoulder, therefore used half the amount of salt and pepper with the full amount of garlic. I did add the vinegar. I could have lightened the salt and pepper a bit more, it was quite salty. Overall though, the meat was tender and juicy and very seasoned. Just to note, I followed the recipe as far as preparing the meat, but slow roasted it on indirect heat on my gas grill. I wrapped it in foil for the first hour and then opened the foil for the second hour and a half. It was cooked perfectly. In the warmer months, I use the grill for many roasts, turkeys, etc using that method.

I made this dish for 2 by using a 2 lb. pork roast. I cut back the ingredients accordingly, but I wish I had cut down the salt even more. I cooked the 2 lb. pork roast for 40 minutes and it turned out perfectly. It was so moist and flavorful. I think we're going to serve it at our Florribean themed wedding reception.

Sorry, but this was just OK for me and my hubby. Added broth, carrots and onion as others suggested and again just ok, won't make again. Too bad!
