Pork shoulder is an inexpensive cut of meat, and since it cooks slowly at a low temperature, it is also relatively hands-off.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 garlic cloves, peeled
4 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (from about 5 sprigs), or 2 teapsoons dried oregano
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 whole limes, cut in pieces
1 tablespoon coarse salt
One 7 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder (also known as pork butt or picnic shoulder)

Steps:

  • Puree garlic, oregano, olive oil, limes, and salt in a blender or food processor.
  • Place meat in a roasting pan, and score the fat on top of the pork. Rub garlic mixture all over pork. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours. Flip roast occasionally and redistribute the rub.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Remove meat from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Place pan in the oven, fat side up, and add 1 cup of water to pan. Roast, uncovered, occasionally basting meat with juices and rub and turning pan to promote even cooking. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, until meat easily shreds. Let rest for 15 minutes, then shred and serve.

This pork roast was a waste of time and money. The meat was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork roast turned out terrible. The meat was dry and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the meat was tender and juicy. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce next time.
