Cooking a big pork shoulder does not have to be for the professionals, this recipe is for all cooking levels. PERi-PERi is there to help you through it!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup PERi-PERi sauce
- 3 lbs pork shoulder
- 2 tbsps olive oil

Cooking Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 425℉. Place shopped carrots and onion into a deep oven tray with the thyme. Place pork on top of vegetables, drizzle with oil all over, season pork to liking and message with hands.
2
Add the water to the tray and cover tightly with cooking foil. Place in the oven for 30 minutes then turn down temperature to 250℉. Continue to cook for 9.5 hours (or an entire Netflix series). Remove from oven, rest for 20 minutes
3
Towards the end of the pork cooking time, put new potatoes in a pot and cover with salted cold water, bring to the boil and cook until tender (the old 'insert a fork' test will tell you)
