pork shoulder

💰Cheaper: pork butt

Pork butt is often less expensive and works well for roasting.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels.

Make incisions in the pork shoulder with a sharp knife.

Combine garlic, olive oil, adobo seasoning, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.

Rub the marinade all over the pork, ensuring it gets into the incisions.

Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover with foil.

Roast in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).

Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to allow the skin to crisp up.

Baste the pork with its juices halfway through roasting.

In a separate bowl, mix orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, and water.

Pour the juice mixture over the pork during the last hour of cooking.

Once done, let the pork rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing.

Serve with rice and beans or your favorite sides.
