Ingredients

  1. 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast
  2. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  3. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  4. 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  5. 2 cups homemade or store-bought chicken stock
  6. 8 cloves garlic, chopped
  7. Juice of 2 limes
  8. Juice of 2 oranges
  9. 1 large Spanish onion, rough chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Sprinkle pork all over with salt, pepper and dried oregano. Place pork roast fat-side up in a baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep. Add chicken stock, garlic, lime juice, orange juice and onion to the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until meat begins to fall apart, about 4 hours. Remove foil and continue to cook for 30 minutes. Remove pork roast and allow it to rest. Place braising liquid into a saucepan and reduce on low to medium heat until reduced by about half. Strain the braising liquid and serve as sauce for the pork shoulder.
