Ingredients
-
1 (5 pound) boneless pork shoulder
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon safflower oil
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Trim excess fat from pork shoulder and cut pork into 2-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper on all sides.
-
Heat a cast iron braiser over medium-high heat. Pour oil into the pot and brown pork on all sides, about 10 minutes. Cover with the lid.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until pork is crispy on the outside and soft, but fully cooked, on the inside, about 1 hour.
Cook's Note:
If you are not using a cast iron braiser with a cast iron lid, the cook time will be about 20 minutes longer.
