I saw this on Guy Fieris big bite and it is so good - Our new favourite pork shoulder recipe.
I set out with the best intentions of following his recipe to the letter but as always I got distracted and forgot to put it in the oven so had to use the Instant Pot to speed up the cooking time, then I finished it off on the bbq…. and I even managed not to burn it! (unlike my sausage rolls - they just did not work on the bbq)
It was delicious. I also used 1/2 cup orange juice instead of fresh squeezing it and I didn’t have chipotle so just used the adobo sauce. To be honest it is just as good without the adobo sauce.
Ingredients
1 Cobblestone Farm Berkshire pork shoulder - bone-in, (5 - 6lb)
6 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
1 small bunch fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 limes, juice (and zest if you feel like zesting them)
2 oranges, juiced or I used 1/2 cup orange juice
1 chipotle in adobo, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (optional)
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon pepper (black or white)
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Place the Berkshire pork shoulder, fat-side up, on a cutting board. Score the fat in a criss-cross pattern, making diagonal cuts about 1 1/2 inches apart and cutting into the meat (but not right to the bone) so the marinade can penetrate.
Put the pork shoulder in a large re-sealable plastic bag set over a baking dish or you can use a bowl.
Put the garlic, oregano, cilantro, cumin, lime juice, orange juice, chipotle and adobo sauce, salt and pepper, olive oil in a blender.
Blend until pureed. Pour the marinade all over the pork and make sure it gets into the deep cuts. Seal the bag and refrigerate overnight - up to 24 hours (I turned mine and squished the marinade around a couple of times)
Oven method
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add 1/2 inch water to a roasting pan fitted with a roasting rack. Remove the pork from the marinade and place in the center of the rack.
Cover with foil and roast for about 3 1/2hours - Remove the foil and roast for 30 mins more until fat is deep brown in colour.
Transfer the pork to cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing into thick pieces. Spoon any remaining pan juices over the meat to serve.
Instant pot method & Bbq Method
Put pork and marinade in Instant pot - I rinsed the bag out too to get all the flavour
Cook on high pressure for 1 hour
Let pressure release naturally
Preheat bbq to 350
Put the pork in a roasting pan - or any tray you can put on bbq
cook uncovered on bbq for 1 hour until fat is crispy
