Categories     Pork

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 5 medium onions, chopped roughly
3 ribs celery, chopped finely
4 lbs pork shoulder
10 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
cajun seasoning
6 T vegetable oil, divided
2 T flour
beef or chicken stock, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 250F. Place the onions and celery in hte bottom of a large roasting pan or dutch oven, and set aside. Prepare the roast by spiking it with garlic: make small, deep cuts in the pork then stuff half a clove of garlic in each hole. Repeat so the garlic is distributed evenly through the meat's mass. Rub all sides of the roast with cajun seasoning. In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm 3 T vegetable oil. Add the pork, and carefully brown all sides of the roast. Since pork shoulders vary in shape, youu will want to use tongs to steady the meat in the pan. Exercise extreme caution when doing this. When thoroughly browned, place the roast on top of the onons in the roasting pan or dutch oven. Into the skillet, add remaining oil and the flour, and stir until the flour cooks to a peanut butter color. Scrape this mixture into the bottom of the roasting pan. Ten the roast with heavy duty foil or cover dutch oven, and place in the oven. Cook for 4 to 6 hours until the meat falls apart when poked with a fork. In the first few hours of cooking, check the liquid level in the bottom of the pan frequently, adding a little water, beer or chicken stock to maintain about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pan. Before serving, shred the meat fibers with 2 forks and serve over rice or as a sandwich filling
