Key Ingredients

Pork shoulder is the star of the show here, with its rich, buttery flavor and generous texture. For the best results, look for a shoulder that’s about 2 pounds.

The quality of your spices and herbs makes all the difference in this recipe. We highly recommend using fresh rosemary from your garden or a perfectly respectable grocery store, and relying on imported garlic for maximum pungency.

Storage & Reheating

Allow the pork shoulder to cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the slow cooker on low for 1-2 hours or until hot throughout.
