Recipe Alert:Slow Roasted Herb and Spice Cured Pork Shoulder

It's always fun trying new and interesting recipes to add to your list. After all, why does dinner always have to be chicken and beef? Its time to try something new for a change and today we'll show you how.

Ingredients:

1 4-5 lb. boneless, skinless pork shoulder, not rolled or tied
2 Tbsp. coriander seeds
1 Tbsp. whole black peppercorns
12 whole cloves
1 Tbsp. sea salt
2 bay leaves, crumbled
2 Tbsp. fresh rosemary leaves, coarsely chopped
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Spread half the mixture in the bottom of a glass or non-corrodible pan and place the pork on top. Cover with the remaining mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Wash the pork and pat dry. Place fat side up in a baking pan and bake for 6 hours- that’s right, 6 hours. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. The carb count is actually negligible because the spices are washed off.
