Dinner 30 Hr. 5 Mins.

Ingredients

12

12 servings

  • 9 cloves garlic
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (7 pound) skin-on, bone-in pork shoulder (picnic) roast
  • 1 (1.5 liter) bottle red table wine

Instructions

  • Crush garlic into small pieces in a mortar and pestle. Add olive oil, salt, oregano, and black pepper; mash into a paste.
  • Make 12 deep incisions a few inches apart in roast using a sharp knife. Pack seasoned garlic paste evenly into incisions and over roast.
  • Transfer roast to a large bowl. Pour in red wine, covering roast completely. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  • Discard red wine. Place roast fat-side up in a roasting pan; cover with aluminum foil. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place roast in the preheated oven; reduce temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake until slightly pink in the center, about 4 hours.
  • Increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Uncover roast and continue baking until fat is crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest before carving, 20 to 30 minutes.
