Roast Pork Butt With Salsa Verde image

This dish defines the phrase "it's worth the wait." The cooking method here is low and slow, with a well-seasoned pork butt roasted for 9 to 10 hours. Inspired by a "Pork Dinner" family meal at Mozza in Los Angeles, where a 300-pound Berkshire pig was butchered for the dinner, it makes for a perfect big Sunday feast. Just don't forget the salsa after all that time.

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

7- to 8-pound pork butt, fat cap (preferably 1-inch thick) attached
3 1/2 tablespoons salt, plus more for salsa
1/4 cup coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
6 to 8 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 cups chopped fresh parsley
2 cups chopped fresh oregano
8 garlic cloves, peeled
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Ground black pepper
Salad of bitter greens (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Season the pork with 3 1/2 tablespoons of salt and 1/4 cup black pepper, rubbing it in well on all sides. Roast the pork, covered, until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees, 9 to 10 hours. While the pork is roasting, prepare the salsa verde.
  • In a blender or food processor, working in batches if necessary, combine the olive oil, 6 tablespoons of the vinegar, parsley, oregano, garlic and pepper flakes. Process to a purée, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Season with salt, ground black pepper and more vinegar to taste.
  • To serve, pull the pork apart with tongs or forks or slice it. Serve with the salsa and a salad of bitter greens.
