Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 (5-7 pound) pork shoulder, bone-in
- 10 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon of ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of orange juice
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Using a sharp knife, score the pork shoulder with deep cuts all over.
- In a small bowl, mix together 10 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to create a paste.
- Rub the garlic and spice paste all over the pork shoulder, making sure to get it into the scored cuts.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1/4 cup of white vinegar, and 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan and pour the orange juice mixture over the meat.
- Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C).
- Once the pork is cooked, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Roast the pork for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
