Slow Roasted Pork
This pork shoulder is marinaded in a blend of orange, lime, chipotle, garlic and cilantro and cooked all day. The leftovers are great for tacos.
Ingredients
1 6-7 pound pork shoulder
1 can chipotle peppers in adobo
2 oranges, juiced
2 limes, juiced
4 garlic cloves
1/4 cup cilantro
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 cup olive oil
Instructions
In a blender or food processor blend the chipotle peppers, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper and oil together.
Place the pork fat side up in a baking dish and score the skin and fat in a cross-hatch pattern. Poor the marinade all over the pork and marinate covered for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Cook the pork for 4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, then increase the oven to 275 degrees and cook for another 2-3 hours until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees.
Rest for 30 minutes then pull the pork and enjoy
