Cook time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

4 lbs pork shoulder

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tbsp black pepper

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 cup chicken broth

1 medium onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary.

3. Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, then evenly coat with the spice mixture.

4. Place sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of a roasting pan, and set the seasoned pork on top.

5. Pour chicken broth into the pan to keep the meat moist during cooking.

6. Cover the roasting pan with foil and roast in the oven for 3 to 3.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

7. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of roasting to allow the meat to brown.

8. Let the pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing to ensure juices are evenly distributed.

Storage

Allow the roast to cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

Reheat slices in a preheated oven at 300°F (149°C) until warmed through, or in a microwave on medium power.
