Ingredients

a boneless or bone in pork butt or pork shoulder (4-8 pounds is ideal)
1 and 1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
low or no-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

Take your pork roast out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. Preheat oven to 300°F.
If your pork roast has a thick layer of fat on the outside, cut about half of it away so that it's a thinner layer. You can throw this out. Or, the best thing to do, is to turn it into a snack to have while your pork is roasting. Put the fat that you removed from the roast in a single layer on its own cake pan. Use a pan with edges because a lot of hot fatty liquid is going to come out of it. Season it lightly with salt. Roast the layer of fat in the 300F oven until it's brown and very crispy. Check it often. Blot it on kitchen towel. Break it into pieces and offer it as nibbles to anyone who is lured into your kitchen by the roasting pork smells.
Meanwhile, mix the pepper, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl and then sprinkle liberally all over the roast.
Put the roast in a large roasting pan, fat-side-up. You do not need to use a rack in the pan.
Add about half an inch of low or no-sodium chicken broth to the bottom of the pan. Put it into the oven, uncovered.
Cook for 40 minutes per pound or until an instant read thermometer reaches 180F. This may seem high for pork but your goal is really tender, slow-cooked pork, almost like the texture of pulled pork.
If at any point most of the broth has evaporated, add more. Add enough to cover any brownings on the side of the pan from where the previous broth evaporated away. This will dissolve those brownings and flavor your gravy.
Take the roast out of the oven. Transfer it to a plate so that you can get at the roasting pan and make your gravy. Let the roast rest for 30-40 minutes. This is important because this is the only time the roast will rest. The roast does not need to be covered during resting time. Use this time to make your gravy. (Here's how to make gravy using the flavorful broth from the bottom of the roasting pan) and to finish off your other side dishes and set the table.
Preheat the oven to 475F.
Once the roast has rested, and the oven has preheated, and once you have everything else for your dinner just about ready, put the roast into a clean roasting pan or onto a baking sheet, uncovered, and put it into the hot oven for 13-17 minutes. You want the outside to get nice and brown.
When it's really nice and browned, take the roast out of the oven and immediately carve it* and serve it. Do not let it rest now since it has already rested.

DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST

Dad's Basic Moist Pork Roast image

This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

PORK ROAST WITH CRISPY PORK CRACKLING

Pork Roast with Crispy Pork Crackling image

Recipe video above. This is how to make a pork roast with tender juicy flesh, with a crazy-crispy crackling! The crackle is bubbly and puffy from edge to edge as it should be, rather than an impenetratable rock hard flat sheet of skin or worse still, littered with rubbery patches.And the gravy is to die for, thanks to the flavour loaded roasting pan juices!KEY STEPS: Use pork shoulder, dry skin, no need to score (but if it's already scored, that's ok), salt the skin evenly, slow roast low uncovered, keep the skin surface level using foil balls, and blast it for crispy skin! Read the post for extra tips, step photos, and why this recipe works!

Time 3h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 kg/ 6 lb boneless skin on pork shoulder, NOT scored (, unrolled / netting removed (Note 1 & 6))
3 tsp cooking / kosher salt ((NOT salt flakes or table salt, Note 7))
1 1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp fennel seeds ((or other herb/spice of choice))
1 tbsp+ 1 tsp olive oil
1 garlic bulb (, halved horizontally)
2 onions (, halved (brown, white, red))
2 cups dry white wine, or alcoholic or non-alcoholic cider ((Note 2))
1/4 cup flour ((Note 5))
2 cups chicken broth/stock (, low sodium)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Dry skin: Pat the skin dry with paper towels. If time permits, leave in the fridge uncovered overnight (even 1 hr helps). If not, pat extra well.
Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan).
Season flesh: Sprinkle pork flesh with 1 1/2 tsp salt, all the pepper and all fennel seeds and 1 tbsp olive oil. Rub into flesh, right into all the crevices and cracks.
Salt skin: Flip pork, drizzle skin with 1 tsp oil, then rub all over with fingers. Sprinkle all over with remaining 1 1/2 tsp salt, taking care to get even coverage. Un-salted patches will not become bubbly crackling, it will be a hard flat sheet.
Garlic & onion bed: Place halved garlic bulbs and onion in roasting pan. Place pork skin side up on top of them.
Wine: Carefully pour wine into the pan, being sure not to wet the skin. Transfer to oven.
Lower oven: Immediately turn oven down to 160°C/320°F (140°C fan).
Slow roast: Roast for 2 1/2 hours.
Level at 1 1/2 hours: Check pork after 1 1/2 hours to see if the pork is warped and the skin's overall surface is significantly unlevelled. If so, adjust to make the skin surface as level as possible using balls of foil and moving large dislodged pork pieces to the side (key tip for crispy crackling, Note 3). Then return to oven for the remaining 1 hour.
Check pan & salt on skin: If pan is drying out, add some water. If there are bald patches on the skin without salt (eg it fell off), spray lightly with oil spray (or brush lightly with oil) then sprinkle with salt. (Remember, salt = bubbly skin!)
Increase heat: Turn oven up to 250°C/485°F (all oven types), or as high as it will go if your oven won't go this high.
Make skin crisp: Return pork to oven for 30 minutes, rotating pan as needed, until skin is crisp and bubbly all over. If needed, use foil patches, secured with water soaked toothpicks, to cover parts that are done and keep crisping up remaining patches.
Rest: Transfer pork to serving platter, tent loosely with foil (don't worry, crackling stays super-crisp) and rest for 20 minutes (stays warm up to 1 hour). Then slice using a serrated knife.
Serve with gravy. Don't pour gravy over crackling - pour it off to the side! See note for reheating.
