- 2tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1-- (4- to 4 1/2-pound) bone-in pork shoulder
Instructions
- Place garlic, salt, peppercorns and oregano in the bowl of a food processor. Process until garlic is chopped. Add olive oil and vinegar and process to form a thick paste. Place pork in a large roasting pan fat side up and score top with a sharp knife. Rub garlic mixture over meat; refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
