Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 pounds pork shoulder
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and paprika.
  3. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder.
  4. Place the pork in a roasting pan and add chicken broth to the pan.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the oven for about 4-6 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
  2. For a golden-brown finish, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 30 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven and let rest before slicing.
  4. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the pork shoulder overnight with the herb and garlic mixture. Make sure to check the meat's temperature with a meat thermometer. It should reach at least 190°F (88°C) for the best tenderness. Reserve some of the broth from the pan after roasting to serve as gravy.
