When I was making this I brought a small pork shoulder just in case it didn't work out. The store didn't have fresh Oregano so I used fresh Rosemary, fresh Thyme and dried Oregano. Other than that I followed the recipe. I marinated it over night and it came out great. My boys and husband are very skeptical about new recipes so I had my oldest taste it first. He put the first piece in his mouth chewed and then he paused, He then turned to me and said " I dont wanna swallow cause I don't want it to end". I was floored!! When my husband ate it he was actually upset that I didn't make a bigger pork shoulder. This is definatly a keeper and I was asked to make 2 pork shoulders for Christmas dinner!!

Absolutely AWESOME! I am not a gourmet cook, but this certainly made me look like one. I accidently grabbed a mixture of fresh rosemary, thyme and chives from the fresh herb section instead of the oregano, so had to add dried oregano. I just used all four of the spices and marianted overnight. Cooked in my convection oven for exactly 3 hours. This was so easy!

Great recipe! Easy to make with a big payoff. Had to adjust the measurements of my ingredients because of my 6.5 lb hunk of pork, otherwise followed it to the tee. I marinated mine for 3 hours only and it came out juicy and almost fall off the bone tender. This one's a keeper!

simply awesome. as to the salt comments - the issue is using kosher salt because of the size of the molecules. simply grind the salt and the recipe works perfectly. i added to the recipe as folllows - i high cooked for 45 minutes at 500* and then added carrots, onion and some chiles and added a can of chicken broth. then reduced to 350 for the rest of cooking time.

This was very good and easy to do. I didn't have fresh oregano so I used about a teaspoon of dried and I used white balsamic vinegar as that's what I had on hand. It was a hit in my house and I'll definitely be making it again.

excellent flavors. Try this recipe and if you are salt phobic just limit it a bit. This dish is meant to be super flavorful and well seasoned.

This is a great recipe. I have used it two times and got rave reviews both times. I followed it as is for the most part.
