Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
-
Using a sharp knife, make deep slits all over the pork shoulder.
-
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, thyme leaves, cumin, allspice, paprika, black pepper, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, and vinegar. Mix well to form a thick marinade.
-
Rub the marinade all over the pork shoulder, making sure to work it into the slits you've created. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
-
Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan, fat side up. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt for added seasoning.
-
Cover the roasting pan with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast the pork for approximately 3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
-
After the initial 3 hours of roasting, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C) and remove the foil from the pan. Continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes to allow the pork to develop a crispy, golden-brown crust.
-
Once the pork is beautifully caramelized and cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
-
Slice the Guyana Roast Pork into thick, succulent pieces and serve with your favorite sides.
