Photo: Simple Roasted Pork Shoulder Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, spread the mixture all over the pork shoulder.
Set the meat on a rack set into a roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. Continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the shoulder reads 185 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.

This was the best pork shoulder recipe I have ever tried. I changed it a bit, I upped the garlic because IMO there is no such thing as too much garlic and then I wrapped it in bacon and lowered the cooking temperature to 300 after the initial 425 instead of 325. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender and moist and the flavor was just out of this world. I was hesitant about cooking it to 185 as the temperature for pork has changed and pork can be very dry when cooked to the old temperature, but this was not dry. This was delicious. I'll never cook pork shoulder any other way.
