INGREDIENTS

  • Spices and Herbs

    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • Liquids

    • 🍋 3 tablespoons lime juice
    • 🍊 3 tablespoons orange juice
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar

  • Protein

    • 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast

STEPS

1

Grind garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and coriander into a paste using a mortar and pestle.

2

Transfer 1/2 of the paste to a bowl. Add lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, and vinegar and whisk until smooth.

3

Cut several deep, 1-inch-long slits into the fatty side of the pork roast. Rub the remaining paste into the slits. Put roast into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Pour citrus mixture into the bag to coat roast, then squeeze as much air from the bag as possible and seal. Refrigerate, turning occasionally, 8 hours to overnight.

4

Remove pork roast from refrigerator, transfer to a roasting pan, and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

5

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

6

Roast pork in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue cooking until no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).
