It's an inexpensive,EASY and completely delicious way to cook a smoked shoulder. (They go on sale for $0.88/lb here and I buy LOTS) It's like that infomercial...set it, and forget it. Also an awesome change from chicken wings for a snack during the big game. The variations are endless but the method of cooking remains the same. Ingredients:
6 lbs smoked pork shoulder |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 tablespoon pepper |
3 tablespoons garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Turn oven on to 300.
2. Place pork in lasagne pan fat side up. (can be placed on a rack,optional).
3. Score fat lightly in a diamond pattern, not piercing through to the meat.
4. Rub salt, pepper and garlic on the fat.
5. Cover lightly with tin foil and roast for 3 hours, this gets the fat melting.
6. Remove tin foil and reduce oven to 225.
7. Continue roasting for 4 hours.
8. Remove from oven and drain drippings if desired.
9. Turn oven up to 450-500.
10. Place pork back in oven until fat is crispy and browned, about 5-10mins.
11. Remove from oven, lightly tent with tin foil and wait till cool enought to handle.
12. Remove meat and tear apart with 2 forks.
13. Toss with favorite BBQ sauce and serve on buns.
14. *note* I've made this a 1000 times. Sometimes with aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage. Sometimes with a wet rub. Sometimes with fruit such as apples,peaches, or pineapple. I've never had one not turn out. I posted this recipe today because that's what in my oven. (big game on!).
15. Enjoy!
