Easy Roasted Pork

I forgot to take a photo of the whole pork shoulder, this was just the piece that was left.

I do a lot of my grocery shopping online, and Safeway is not particularly attentive to what they send me.  I had ordered pork belly, but I got pork shoulder instead.  It most definitely didn’t work for my recipe, so I looked for something online so the meat would not go to waste.  The recipe below was just perfect.  It was super easy to make and the “crust” was just delicious.

Ingredients

3 Tbsps.  olive oil
3 Tbsps. minced garlic
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 lbs  pork shoulder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Mix together the olive oil, garlic and salt & pepper in a small bowl.  Brush it all over the pork shoulder.

Place the pork shoulder on a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes.  Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast for four hours.  Remove from oven and let sit for 20 minutes before slicing.
