Make this Boston Butt recipe when you have the time to slow roast it in the oven. The lemon and herbs flavor the meat while the low temperature makes for a succulent and tender pork dish.
Ingredients:
1 (5-lb.) bone-in pork shoulder roast (boston butt)
2 lemons, halved and divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
kitchen string
1 garlic bulb, unpeeled
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
garnishes: roasted garlic cloves, baby carrots, radishes, lettuce leaves
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Rub 1 lemon half on all sides of pork roast, squeezing juice from lemon. Stir together oregano, salt, and pepper; rub on roast.
2. Place roast on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan. Separate garlic cloves (do not peel), and place around roast. Drizzle olive oil over roast and garlic cloves.
3. Squeeze juice from remaining 1 1/2 lemons into a bowl. Stir together juice and chicken broth; pour into roasting pan.
4. Bake at 350° for 3 hours to 3 1/2 hours or until fork tender. Shred pork into large pieces using two forks, if desired. Garnish, if desired.
