ROASTED PORK SHOULDER WITH POMEGRANATE SAUCE



Roasted Pork Shoulder with Pomegranate Sauce image

Just created this tonight and it's definitely a keeper! The Hubby and I can't wait to try it again, next time on the grill; the smoky flavors imparted by cooking over the coals will complement the sauce nicely. It's a lovely way to serve an otherwise inexpensive piece of meat.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast
2 teaspoons minced garlic
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 pomegranates with the seeds removed
½ cup water
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Season the pork roast with garlic, kosher salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan.
  • Bake the roast for 1hour in the preheated oven. While the roast is baking, combine the pomegranate seeds and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the pomegranate seeds have broken down and released their juices. Press through a strainer to get as much juice as possible. You should have about 3/4 cup of juice.
  • Pour the juice from the pomegranate into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and mix in the balsamic vinegar, sugar and cinnamon.
  • After the roast has been in the oven for 1 hour, start to baste it with the pomegranate sauce, using a brush to apply to the top and sides. Continue to roast the pork until the internal temperature has reached 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
8 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons fennel seed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 boneless pork shoulder (4 pounds), thin layer of fat left on
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a heavy-bottomed metal roasting pan. In a food processor, combine oil, garlic, rosemary, fennel seed, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until a paste forms.
  • With a paring knife, gently score the pork's fat layer, making 10 to 15 small 1/2-inch-deep cuts all over. Rub pork with garlic paste, pushing it into cuts. With kitchen twine, tie pork in 1-inch increments and transfer to pan.
  • Roast until golden brown, 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center reads 170 degrees, about 2 1/2 hours. Transfer pork to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a small bowl and skim fat. Set pan over medium, add wine, and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits, until wine is reduced by half, 4 minutes. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in drippings and broth. Cook, whisking, until sauce thickens slightly, 3 minutes. Serve with pork.

ROASTED PORK SHOULDER WITH PAN GRAVY



Roasted Pork Shoulder with Pan Gravy image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h25m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 6-to-8-pound pork shoulder (boned out, no skin)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Paprika, for sprinkling
5 medium carrots, cut in half, then cut in half lengthwise
8 whole red potatoes
2 medium onions, quartered
4 to 6 cloves garlic
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more if necessary
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the pork really well with salt, pepper and paprika. Tie the pork with kitchen twine (or you can purchase it tied from the butcher). Set a roasting rack inside of a roasting pan and place the pork on the rack. Roast for 3 hours, basting periodically.
  • After 3 hours remove the pork from the oven and gently lift the rack off the pan. Scatter the carrots, potatoes, onions and garlic in an even layer and season with salt and pepper. Place the rack and pork back on top of the vegetables and continue to roast until the vegetables are caramelized and the pork is tender and yielding, another 2 to 3 hours.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the pork to rest for 15 minutes while you make the pan gravy.
  • Remove the vegetables to your serving platter and place the pan over the stove-top burner on medium heat. Add the flour and stir to combine with the fat. Gradually stir in the stock, being sure to scrape the bottom of the pan for brown bits. Bring to a simmer so the gravy can fully thicken, and then stir in the parsley. Serve the pork with lots of vegetables and the pan gravy on and around.

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.

ROASTED PORK SHOULDER



Roasted Pork Shoulder image

Serve this roasted pork shoulder with yellow rice and a salad.

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.

Tips for a perfect Roasted Pork Shoulder with Pomegranate Sauce:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the ideal cut for this recipe. It's flavorful and has a good amount of marbling, which will keep it moist during the long cooking process.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: The spice rub is what gives this pork its amazing flavor. Be generous with the spices and make sure to rub them all over the pork shoulder.
  • Slow and low is the way to go: Pork shoulder is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature. This will allow the collagen in the meat to break down and make it tender.
  • Baste the pork regularly: Basting the pork with the pomegranate sauce while it's cooking will help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the pork rest before carving: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roasted Pork Shoulder with Pomegranate Sauce is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the pomegranate sauce is the perfect complement. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to impress your friends and family, give Roasted Pork Shoulder with Pomegranate Sauce a try.
