1
Prepare the Pork Shoulder
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh thyme. Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover it with foil.
2
Roast the Pork
Roast the pork shoulder in the preheated oven for about 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to let the skin crisp up.
3
Make the Carrot Purée
While the pork is roasting, peel and chop the carrots. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the carrots and transfer them to a blender.
4
Blend the Carrots
Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the blender with the carrots. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5
Serve
Once the pork is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices of crispy pork shoulder over a generous spoonful of carrot purée and garnish with fresh parsley.
