Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 10 cloves garlic, or more to taste ¼ cup olive oil 3 tablespoons white vinegar 2 tablespoons dried oregano 1 tablespoon salt 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper 5 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat Directions Gather all ingredients. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Combine garlic cloves, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mortar and pestle; mash into a paste. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Cut deep slits into pork with a small knife. Stuff slits with garlic paste; rub any remaining paste over pork. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios 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. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Take pork out of the refrigerator, uncover, and bring to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Roast pork skin-side down in the preheated oven until golden-brown, about 2 hours. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios 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. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Recipe Tip If you don't have a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic paste in a sturdy bowl with the back of a spoon. I Made It Print 113 home cooks made it!
