Preheat oven to 300°F.

Prepare two pork butts by washing and drying them with paper towels.

In a bowl, mix half a teaspoon of salt and four teaspoons of black pepper per roast.

Add one teaspoon of minced garlic and one teaspoon of dried rosemary to the mixture.

Add roughly one tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture and mix well to create a marinade.

Coat both pork butts generously with the marinade on all sides.

Place a rack in a roasting pan and put the pork butts on the rack, fat side up.

Cook the pork butts uncovered in the oven for approximately 3 and a half to 4 hours.

After 30 minutes, you can choose to cook the pork butts upside down to allow the fat to baste the meat.

Halfway through cooking, check the pork butts; they should start to brown and self-baste with the fat juices.

After cooking, remove the pork butts from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Slice the pork butt and serve it with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables.
