Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare the marinade
Zest and juice the lemons. Mince the garlic cloves. Remove the leaves from the rosemary and thyme sprigs and finely chop them. In a small bowl, mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Marinate the pork shoulder
Place the pork shoulder in a large, non-reactive dish or resealable plastic bag. Rub the lemon-herb paste all over the pork, making sure to coat it evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).
Roast the pork shoulder
Remove the pork shoulder from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Place the pork in a roasting pan, fat side up. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 6-7 hours, or until it is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Rest and shred the pork
Remove the pork shoulder from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, discarding any excess fat or connective tissue.
Serve
Transfer the shredded pork to a serving platter. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
