How to Make It

1. Step

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) .

2. Step

Using a sharp knife, score the pork skin and fat in a diamond pattern, spacing the cuts ½ inch apart and taking care not to cut into the meat.

3. Step

Combine the garlic and salt in a food processor and pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the olive oil, whole oregano leaves, cumin, and orange and lime zests and process into a smooth paste.

4. Step

Rub the paste all over the pork shoulder, making sure it gets into the scores. Transfer the pork shoulder to a baking dish or a roasting pan and pour the lime and orange juices around the pork. Cover the baking dish with foil.

5. Step

Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers between 180°F (82°C) and 190°F (88°C),6–7 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and turn on the broiler.

6. Step

Uncover the pork and turn the oven to broil. Return the pork to the oven and broil until the skin puffs and is golden brown and crisp, 10–15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes.

7. Step

Meanwhile, pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl. Skim off the fat, if desired. Stir the finely chopped oregano into the sauce.

8. Step

Serve the pork shoulder with the sauce and your favorite side dishes.

9. Step

Enjoy!
