Big Daddys Rockin Roast Pork Shoulder Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, spread the mixture all over the pork shoulder.
• Set the meat on a rack set into a roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. Continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the shoulder reads 185 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mortar and pestle; mash into a paste.
• Make deep slits into the pork with a small knife. Stuff slits with the paste; rub any remaining paste over the pork.
• Place pork in a plastic roasting bag and put in a roasting pan with a rack. Let marinate in the refrigerator, 8 to 48 hours.
• Take pork out of the refrigerator, uncover, and bring to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Roast pork skin-side down in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 2 hours. Flip pork and continue roasting, skin-side up, until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 2 to 4 hours more.

Steps:

• Combine oil, pepper, and salt in a bowl; rub oil mixture over pork and refrigerate while oven preheats.
• Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Place a roasting rack in a large roasting pan; arrange pork on the roasting rack.
• Roast in preheated oven until pork with browned, about 30 minutes. Remove pork from oven and reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Allow pork to rest uncovered at room temperature for 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 115 degrees F (46 degrees C) and 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Return to oven and continue to cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, 15 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Let the roast stand uncovered at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• In a food processor add green pepper, onion, and cilantro. Pour in oil and mix well. Cook's Note: Can keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Make at least 12-slits in pork with the tip of a very sharp knife. Put 1 clove of garlic in each slit.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sazon and adobo seasonings. Add 1/4-cup sofrito and stir together. Rub over entire pork shoulder.
• Place pork in large roasting pan, wrap with foil and cook for 3 hours. Remove the foil and crank oven up to 400 degrees F and let cook additional 20 minutes until desired crispness.

Steps:

• Place the pork, fat-side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack insert, and using a sharp knife, score the surface of the meat with small slits. Mash the garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper into a paste on a cutting board with the flat side of a knife; place the adobo in a bowl and stir in the oil and vinegar. Rub the garlic paste all over the pork, being sure to get into the incisions so the salt can penetrate the meat and pull out the moisture - this will help form a crust on the outside when cooked. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roast the pork for 3 hours, uncovered, until the skin is crispy-brown. Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) with a rack in the middle of the oven. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and a rack.
• Stir together garlic, olive oil, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub pork thoroughly with garlic mixture. Place fat-side up on rack on the prepared baking sheet. Let pork stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers between 195 to 205 degrees F (90 to 96 degrees C), about 4 1/2 hours.
• Let stand 20 minutes before shredding.

Steps:

• Mix the garlic, onion, oregano, salt, and pepper in a food processor, adding the oil in a drizzle and scraping down the sides as necessary (or mince all together on a cutting board). Blend in the vinegar.
• Rub the mixture well onto the pork, getting into every nook and cranny.
• Place the meat on a rack and let sit, uncovered, for 1-24 hours. Refrigerate if it is hot or the meat will be set out for longer than 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F Roast about 3 hours, turning every 30 minutes until well done, tender, and the skin is crisp. The internal temperature should be between 150°F-160°F Do not allow to go higher than 160°F
• Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting. The meat will be very tender and almost impossible to cut into uniform slices, so just cut it into chunks.
