The Name is Pork, Slow Roasted Pork (Sam Kass)
One of my favorite recipes from Sam Kass’s book: Eat A Little Better is his Roasted Pork Shoulder. Don’t let the time commitment scare you. Prep is as easy as rubbing salt all over the roast, letting it sit for 2 hours then popping it in the oven for…
5 hours
So, yes, you will need to plan in advance and start early. By dinner time you’ll be ready to dazzle. You can serve the roast as is or transform it into delicious dishes like carnitas tacos, pulled pork sammies with your favorite barbecue sauce, or a yummy pasta ragu. Sam’s book includes ways to use this roast as the base for a variety of tasty options. All lip smacking delicious.
