Steps:
- Remove bone and flatten meat so that it may be rolled. If the pork shoulder is very fatty, a small amount may be removed. Score fat well and marinate for a minimum of 12 hours in the sour orange juice, garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Line meat with ham slices, bacon slices, prunes and guava shells. Roll meat carefully to keep the filling inside the roll. Tie firmly with a butcher twine. Cover with brown sugar and 1/2 bottle of Malta and cook for 1 hour in the preheated oven. At this point, turn the meat, cover with the remaining Malta and cook for an extra hour, or until the pork reaches a temperature of 180 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Allow to cool and cut into fine slices. Pour the drippings over the meat after slicing the meat. Serve with the Fried Green Plantains, White Rice, and Black Beans.
- Preheat oil in a fryer or Dutch oven to 365 degrees F. Peel the plantains and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place into preheated oil and fry for 5 minutes or until they begin to brown. Drain them on a paper-towel lines plate. Flatten them using a Tostonera or the bottom of a metal can and fry again at 385 degrees F for approximately 3 minutes. Drain again and sprinkle with salt and garlic mojo. For softer fried plantains, soak for a few minutes in salted water after the first fry, drain and fry again.

- Chop up the garlic very thinly or crush using a mortar and pestle or food processor with the salt to form a thick paste. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic paste and juice, and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer.
- Heat oil in a shallow casserole and brown garlic. Take it off the heat and remove garlic from the oil. Add water and salt to the oil and bring to a rolling boil. Add the washed rice and stir. Bring to a rolling boil again, cover and cook over low heat for approximately 30 minutes.

- Wash the beans and soak overnight in the water. When the beans swell, cook in the same water until soft, about 45 minutes. Heat 1 cup oil in a frying pan, add onions, garlic and green peppers. Add 1 cup of the beans to the pan and mash. Add this to the beans together with the salt, pepper, if using, oregano, bay leaves and sugar. Allow to boil for a 1 hour then add the wine and vinegar allowing to cook uncovered for a while. Add the 4 remaining tablespoons olive oil just before serving.

Steps:
- For the stuffing: Cook salt pork until crisp.
- Remove from pan and cook celery and onion in fat until vegetables are tender.
- Add apples and sugar; cover pan and cook until apples are tender.
- Combine bread crumbs, parsley, seasonings and salt pork; mix well.
- Add cooked apple mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Fill cavity in pork roast with apple stuffing; fasten opening with poultry pins or skewers.
- Place in a roasting pan, season with salt and pepper and roast at 350F until an internal temperature reaches 185F on a thermometer (allow 30 to 35 minutes per pound, adding weight of dressing to calculations).
- When roast is half done, spread with mustard and finish roasting.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for this recipe because it is well-marbled and has a lot of flavor. It is also relatively inexpensive.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut through the pork and create a clean incision for the stuffing.
- Season the pork well: Season the pork with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Don't overstuff the pork: The pork should be stuffed loosely so that it has room to expand during cooking. Overstuffing the pork will make it dry and tough.
- Roast the pork at a low temperature: The pork should be roasted at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) for a long period of time (6-8 hours). This will help to ensure that the pork is cooked through and that the stuffing has time to cook as well.
- Let the pork rest before serving: Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Stuffed pork shoulder is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can be sure to create a pork shoulder that is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
