Slow Roasted Rosemary Mustard Pork Shoulder

Prep Time 15 minutes
Marinating Time 12 hours
Total Time 21 hours
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 lb pork shoulder (or pork butt)
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3 oil packed anchovies
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 C olive oil

Toppings:

  • 3 scallions chopped
  • pickled red onions thinly sliced
  • 1 Fresno or jalapeño chili sliced thin

Instructions
 

  • Day before: At least 12 hours up to 24 hours ahead, prepare the marinade and put it on the pork.
  • In a small food processor add all of the ingredients, except the pork roast and toppings, and process to form a thick paste. Score the fat on the top of the pork shoulder, and place on a wire rack on a large baking sheet. Spread the paste all over the pork. Stick a few toothpicks on top of pork then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate 12-24 hours.
  • Take pork out of refrigerator 1 hour before cook time. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place the pork shoulder (on the same sheet pan and wire rack) in the oven. Roast 8-9 hours until the internal temperature of the roast is 200-205 degrees and it is very soft when sticking it with a probe.
  • Remove pork from oven and let rest for 15-30 minutes before serving.
  • Place cut up or shredded pork on a platter and top with green onions, pickled red onions and sliced fresno or jalapeño peppers and serve.
  • Enjoy!
