Pork Shoulder, Puerto Rican style

[crafty_packrat]

At least, according to How to Cook Everything.

marinated pork shoulder


turned to cooked pork shoulder



in 1.5 hrs at 350 F.

It smells of onion, oregano, and cider vinegar. I'm going to eat it with mashed potatoes tomorrow, possibly made with skimmed fat from tonight...

But right now, I'm going to slice off a hunk and have it with a slice of baguette.

Good gravy, woman, I'm drooling! I'll definitely remember the cider vinegar trick next time I roast some pork.

Cider vinegar is my friend. Especially since I hate the taste of alcohol -- cider vinegar is usually a perfectly decent substitute for wine or beer in a recipe.

You know, you keep showin' food off, and I keep stealin' it. It's like a vicious cycle.

marinade

What is the green stuff - oregano (fresh or dry)?

The green stuff is oregano and maybe some of the onion and the olive oil. The marinade turned into a nice slurry once I added a tablespoon of cider vinegar to the blender.
