Name: Roast Pork Shoulder with Rosemary and Garlic
Ingredients: 10 cloves garlic; 1/4 cup olive oil; kosher salt; black pepper; 3-4 lb pork shoulder; 4 sprigs rosemary, leaves only

Pork shoulder, let me count the ways you fill me with delight. Rub with chili powder, cumin, garlic and … smoked and pulled. Wrapped in banana leaves a roasted on hot coals while buried under ground. Pressure cooked with tomatillos into amazing yumminess. … … you get the idea, or rather you know you are mentally planning a trip to the butcher counter after thinking of that awesomeness.

Well before you pull out your smoker, maybe consider the oven. It can’t really smoke, but it can go low. It can make up for not smoking by being easy and it’s pork shoulder so you know it will be delicious.

Here we get our inspiration from lamb and rub the shoulder with a rosemary garlic paste, and then cook till just short of pulling temperature. Doing this will bring you tender slices of pork with a delicious crust.

The best part, the leftovers can be sliced for righteous sandwiches the next day.
