For a richer flavor, sear the pork loin in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This adds a beautiful crust and enhances the overall taste.

Leftover pernil is fantastic in sandwiches, tacos, or as a topping for rice and beans.

    I was a little hesitant to try a slow cooker pernil, but I'm so glad I did. It was so easy to make and tasted just like the pernil my grandmother used to make.
