Pork Shoulder Roast
Ingredients
- 1 bone-in pork shoulder approximately 6-8 pounds
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons lard
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Set the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Season the Pork Shoulder:
- Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels to ensure the spice rub adheres properly.
- Rub the lard over the entire surface of the pork shoulder.
- Generously apply the kosher salt, massaging it into all sides of the meat.
Prepare the Roasting Pan:
- Pour the chicken broth into the pan.
- Position a roasting rack, ensuring the pork will sit above the liquid.
Roast the Pork Shoulder:
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder on the roasting rack, fat side up.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 4.5 to 5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Crisp the Exterior:
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Remove the aluminum foil from the roasting pan.
- Continue roasting the pork shoulder for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the exterior is crispy and golden brown.
Rest and Serve:
- Remove the pork shoulder from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Transfer to a serving platter and shred or slice the meat as desired.
- Serve.
