Pork Preparation

Marinate the Pork
Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks. Place in a bowl and coat thoroughly with the prepared marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

Cook the Pork
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Heat canola oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated pork chunks on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Roast the Pork
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
