SIMPLE ROASTED PORK SHOULDER

Steps:

• 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.

• Place roast in a large roasting pan or dutch oven---add the onion, water (pour around roast, not over it) and bay leaves.
• Cover, place in oven and cook for 2 1/2- 3 hours, or until internal temperature of meat is 170 degrees F.

PORK SHOULDER ROAST WITH DRY SPICE RUB

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• To start, trim the tough skin from the pork shoulder, leaving a 1/4 inch layer of fat on the meat.
• Then, whisk together brown sugar, paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, sage, and pepper to make a dry rub. If you don't have a whisk, use a fork as a substitute.
• Pat the dry rub into the exterior of the pork roast.
• Place the pork in a large plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight for up to two days.
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to roasting and let it rest at room temperature to get the chill off. Preheat your oven to 425 F.
• Next, line a shallow roasting pan with foil, and insert a roasting rack.
• Place pork shoulder on the rack in the prepared pan, and roast for 30 minutes.
• Turn oven down to 325 F. Roast an additional 120 to 150 minutes, until the thickest part of the meat (not touching the bone) reaches 170 F on a meat thermometer .
• Remove the pork shoulder roast from the oven, tent with foil and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature before carving to serve.
