This recipe is awesome! I have made it for family parties three times and it is a huge hit every time! It is so delicious and is so tender and juicy. It takes a lot of time, but it so worth it. I think everyone should try it.

Notice recipe says to pulse herbs with bay leaves and rub on meat. I thought you could not eat the bay leaf?

I loved this recipe! I cooked it covered at 350 for about four hours. I didn't put the peels back in with the meat because I thought it might give the pan juices a bitter flavor. The onions caramelized on top of the meat it was delicious!

While the recipe cooking time is misleading, (recipe says 2hrs but it's actually 5-6 the end result was well worth the wait. This was the most tender meat and my family raved about the meal. My husband was concerned the roast would be dry due to the 5 plus hours of cooking time but surprisingly it wasn't. I used fresh squeezed lemons & limes but substituted orange juice (pure and submerged the roast in the marinade for 24 hours. There was plenty of juice for basting and pouring over the meat while serving. My only adjustment next time will be to cook it either at a lower temp or shorter time for the first hour.

I had a ton of people over for my husband's retirement party. I made 4 roasts following the directions exactly (x 4. Then instead of slicing for a sit down dinner, I shredded the pork in with the cooking juices, putting the pans out individually (the rest in a warmer to keep the pork warm, provided potato buns, and let people make mini sandwiches. It was a huge hit.

Fabulous! We replaced Thanksgiving turkey with this roast and will do the same at Christmas. I followed the recipe exactly (used Meyer Lemons instead of regular lemons and the meat was tasty and moist. The cooking time was definitely less than stated- probably an hour and a half less or so. So definitely keep an eye on the meat thermometer.

Had lots and lots of marinade left, and the 'gravy' was excellent on on our cornbread sausage spinach dressing (another Food Network recipe.

My picky traditionalist husband loved it too!

Prep and cook time take quite a bit longer than posted, but it's definately worth the wait! I only made minor adjustments to recipe which are mostly on the cooking temperatures. I personally do not like well done meat so I set initial temperature at 435 for an hour, then at 320 for two hours, and by then the internal temperture of the meat was at 170. I then just turned the oven off, took the pan out, and let it sit for a while. I followed everything else 100% except for I couldn't find cummin seeds, so I used ground cummin. As long as you don't try to skimp on the ingredients ( ex. not using fresh spices and follow the recipe (feel free to try using my cook time recommendation you will be enjoying an AMAZING dish!!! Try this for a special occasion when family or friends will have there taste buds exploding as they tell you that you are the best cook EVER!!!

I am making this as I write. The recipe at the top says the cooking time is 2 hours. If you read the recipe the cooking time is 4 1/2 - 5 hours. That certainly is a huge difference. I hope I have not wasted my time and a perfectly good Boston Butt Roast.

This is the best marinade for a pork roast. The meat was so tender and, so much flavor...The combination on garlic and, citrus and, a hint of the olive oil....
I would like to make a comment to help the folks who gave a low rating...First of all it is very important to buy a Boston Butt pork roast. All meats are cut different for different dishes. This cut is deboned , rolled and, wrapped in food string. You must cut tiny slits and, rub the marinade into the meat. I placed the raw meat into a zip lock bag and, poured the marinade into it ...For 2 days I turned it and, massaged the meat . There was plenty of marinade and, my meat did not dry out...Also, it's important to use a heavy roasting pan and, use a rack....If anybody just follows Chefs instructions , you will have a delicious roast....Thanks for your time.
