ROASTED PORK SHOULDER



Roasted Pork Shoulder image

This is my favorite way to cook a pork shoulder roast. Very tender and delicious! This recipe came from the "Paula Deen Cooking Show" (Food Network). I've changed the prep procedure to make it easier and reduced the sprinkled on salt mixture to 1/4 of the original amount called for in the print-out version of the recipe (Think it was posted wrong!) ENJOY!!!

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

One 6- to 7-pound bone-in pork shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put a large ovenproof Dutch oven, without the lid, into the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, rub the pork all over with 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  • Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the Dutch oven and add the pork to it fat-side down. Roast until golden all over, 45 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and flip the pork so it is fat-side up. Continue to roast until the internal temperature is about 175 degrees F, about 3 hours. Cover the pot with the lid and continue to cook until the internal temperature is 195 to 200 degrees F, about another 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven, uncover and let rest until the meat is cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Skim off the fat from the liquid at the bottom of the pot with a spoon or ladle and discard it. Reserve the liquid for re-warming the meat.
  • Pull the meat from the bone and discard it. The part of the meat that was in the bottom of the pot and cooks in the liquid is perfect for shredding with two forks. The top part that roasts for most of the cooking time should be sliced in to 1/2-inch pieces for browning in other recipes Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 5 days.

Provided by vpecchia

Time 7h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 (5 pound) skin-on, bone-in pork shoulder (picnic) roast

Steps:

  • Mix garlic, oil, vinegar, sazon, adobo, pepper, and oregano together to form a paste.
  • Cut a wide pocket at the large end of the roast to separate skin from the fat, leaving skin attached at the sides and stopping before roast narrows to bone. Make 1-inch deep slits under the skin and on all meaty sides, twisting the knife to widen the openings.
  • Stuff the garlic paste into the slits and rub all over the meat. Transfer to a large zip-top bag or ceramic or glass bowl, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Remove roast from the refrigerator. Place the roast in a pan on a rack, fat-side up. Cover with foil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and remove foil. Continue to roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 175 degrees F (79 degrees C), about 4 hours more.
  • Let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

EASY ROAST PORK SHOULDER



Easy roast pork shoulder image

Master roast pork with crispy crackling using our easy recipe. This makes for a special Sunday lunch, served with roast potatoes and veg

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2kg pork shoulder joint
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1½ tsp fine sea salt
1 large onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Remove any packaging from the pork, retaining the string, and pat dry with kitchen paper - you want the skin to be as dry as possible. Score deep cuts into the skin in a diamond pattern using a sharp knife (you want to cut into the fat). If the skin is already scored, make sure each cut is dry and can be easily opened. Rub the oil into the skin, rubbing it well into each cut, then sprinkle the salt over in an even layer, rubbing this into the cuts, too.
  • Scatter the onion slices over the base of a large roasting tin and sit the pork joint on top. Roast for 20-30 mins, or until the skin starts to blister and bubble. Put the kettle on to boil.
  • Pour half a kettle of boiling water around the joint to cover the base of the tin, ensuring it doesn't drip onto the skin. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roast for another 2 hrs 30 mins, or until the meat under the skin is very tender when pressed. There's a lot of fat in pork shoulder, so cooking at a low temperature this way ensures the meat doesn't dry out - if needed, it can cook for up to 3 hrs.
  • Turn the oven back up to 220C/220C fan/gas 7 and continue to roast the pork for 20-25 mins until the skin is very crisp and has started to harden - it should feel brittle when tapped with a knife. If needed, cook for 10 mins more to achieve this. Remove the pork from the oven and rest for 20 mins in the tin, loosely covering with foil. Remove the crackling in large pieces, then break into smaller chunks. Carve the meat and serve alongside the crackling and your favourite sides.
