INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 lbs pork shoulder (with skin on) 
  • salt and pepper 
  • cloves of garlic 
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Wash meat with water and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (enough to coat the entire meat once).
  4. Make a few slits on the meat and insert garlic.
  5. Place in a roasting pan (I used a disposable foil pan) skin side up.
  6. Add 1 cup of water.
  7. Place pan in the oven.
  8. Bake uncovered for 1.5 hours.
  9. Turn heat down to 350F. Bake for another 3 hours or until internal meat temperature reaches between 160-175F.
  10. Remove pan from oven. Drain meat on a rack then transfer on top of paper towels. Slice meat using a non-serrated, sharp knife. Serve with lechon sauce or vinegar/soy sauce dipping sauce.
