Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
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.

2
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.

3
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).

4
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.

5
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.

6
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.
