Ingredients

    5 serving Garlic, cooked (1 clove / serving)

    4 tbsp Rosemary
    1 tsp Salt
    1 tsp Pepper, black
    38 oz Pork, fresh, shoulder, blade, boston (roasts), separable lean only, cooked, roasted

Tips

America's Test Kitchen used a 6-pound roast cut into 2 pieces. Mine was only 2.5 pounds so baked for 1.5 hours
Note: I did not let rest overnight and it was still AWESOME!


Directions

1. Cross Hatch cut fat cap (do not go into meat
2. Make flavor crust - Grind fennel in a "coffee grinder" or mortar & pestle. Put all dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse till smooth about 5 pulses. Add olive oil and whir until incorporated.
3. With sharp knife punch holes in meat (not fat cap).
4. Slather marinade mixture on 3 sides (again not fat cap).
5. Tie with string if need.
6. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight. (see my tips)
7. In tight lidded Dutch oven cook roast at 350 for 90 minutes
8. Remove from oven, remove any liquid, raise heat to 500 degrees and roast uncovered for 20 minutes.
9. Remove from oven and LET REST FOR 25 MINUTES.
