Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Rub the marinade all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, carrots, and potatoes into large chunks and place them in a roasting pan.

  5. 5

    Add the Pork to the Pan

    Place the marinated pork shoulder on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.

  6. 6

    Add Liquid

    Pour the apple cider vinegar over the pork and vegetables, adding a little water if needed to prevent burning.

  7. 7

    Roast the Pork

    Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 190°F (88°C).

  8. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the foil and let the pork roast for an additional 30 minutes to brown the top. Once done, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted vegetables.
