The meat is so tender! I have to try every recipe twice to rate it, this is a priceless recipe. I added Lime juice to the onion mixture and it was even more tender! I tryed the third time leaving this in an oven at 250 with pan 1/4 filled with water,with skin side up and letting it cook for 10-12 hrs or overnight covered,remove the cover meat will be falling apart tender but dont diturb til you cook it at 375-400 for and extra 30-45 min and baste it with baster getting the dark bits at bottom of pan,cook until you see the color get dark,for flavor flavor flavor!!!! (I also added more lime juice with a little cumin,cayenne,and Goya Sazon w/coriander and aichote)Once I tried stuffing spanish olives in the marinadeing slits. This roast is AWESOME and you can be more creative with it too. I would recommend getting a roast with a bone in it (most do)and cutting it into sections for 3+lbs 2-3 cuts is good enough(not seperated from bone,just so they are open for the marinade and it leaves more crispend areas(the crispyness is where all the flavor is!)great for tacos too! Thanks Derf, I love what you have posted.

Wonderful flavor! I used a 3 lb. roast and cooked it for 2 hours in my convection oven - it was perfect - the outside had crusted nicely and inside was tender and yummy! I used the exact amounts of ingredients even though I only had a 3 lb. roast and I also chilled it for about 14 hours - Thanks Derf for this keeper!

This was easy to prepare and I really liked the seasonings. The only reason this wasn't a 5-star is because the roast just wasn't tender after cooking it as directed. But the outside seasonings were great! I decided to then put cooked roast into crock pot with a little liquid, cooked it for several hours, and voila.... tenderness with great flavor! I believe this recipe would be excellent if using a pork loin rather than a pork but roast.

Awesome flavor. Easy. A great way to make the best of an inexpensive cut of meat. Even my kids loved it, and they are not very good about eating their meat! I will be using this again. Thanks for a great recipe.

I did as ChefKateHas2 and cooked it overnight at the low temp. and oh my goodness it was so moist and flavorful! I forgot to add the extra seasoning that she mentioned, but it was still very good. Will definetly prepare it this way again!
