Ingredients

Pork butt or shoulder roast (preferably bone-in)

Two or three cloves of garlic

Preparation

Heat oven to 350.

Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a heavy roasting pan with a tight fitting lid. Do this on the stove.

Peel garlic and cut into slivers.

Cut slashes in the roast every couple of inches. In each slash, but a sliver of garlic.

Season the roast well. I use a mix of salt, black and red pepper and garlic powder.

Sear each side of the pork roast until well browned.

Put on lid and put in oven. Cook for 3 or 4 hours. It will be ready when the meat starts to fall off the bone. Check periodically to make sure that there is a small amount of liquid at the bottom of the pot.
