This recipe is another wonderful meal from my mom! I have to say that I only post my favorite recipes here and this is definitely one of them. (Not to mention that it’s super easy which is always right up my alley!)
Ingredients:
- 1 Pork Shoulder (or butt) Roast (Mine was about 7lbs)
- Olive Oil
- Garlic Salt
- Onion Salt
- Crushed Pepper (I didn’t put too much b/c of kiddos)
- Parsley
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees
- Place roast in roasting pan, and coat generously with Olive Oil
- Sprinkle a good amount of remaining ingredients over roast and ‘rub’ in so that the roast has a good coating of spices.
- Cook uncovered at 275 for about 6 hours (this may depend on the size of your roast, mine was about 7lbs) It should have a nice salty crust on the outside when it’s finished, and your house will smell wonderful!
Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable! If all goes well, your family will look like this:
Just due to the size of these roasts you’ll have leftovers, chop them up into bite sized pieces and coat them with BBQ sauce. You can freeze them for another time, or eat them the next night on hamburger buns for a yummy BBQ Pork Sandwich!
From mi casa, to yours, Enjoy!
Dear Erica,
I am wondering whether I can prepare the pork roast using a slow cooker, thanks.
Hi Grace, yes I think you can, but I find that it isn’t as tough in the oven. The oven gives it a nice crust on the outside, then tender juicy meat on the inside. Whenever I’ve done it in the crockpot, I feel like it gets a little tough and chewy.
Dear Erica,
Thank you for responding to my question. I actually tried it yesterday on the oven and it came out really well. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Is this boneless?
Yes. Pork shoulder is best purchased boneless.
This is so good! Def. my go to when I want pork sandwiches. We mix the meat with BBQ sauce and it is delicious!
