Dawn Riviere's Roasted Pork Shoulder

Serves: 4-6 Prep time: 30 minutes Total time: 3h 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 3-5 lbs bone-in pork shoulder
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced (Mayan or Walla Walla work great)
  • 3 medium gold potatoes, cut into 1.5 inch pieces
  • 2 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1-2 tbsp oil ( avocado, olive, or your preferred)

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350F.

Using a coated cast iron dutch oven, heat the oil to medium-high on the stovetop. Sear each side of the pork shoulder.

Remove the dutch oven from stovetop and add 1 cup water. Pour liquid smoke over the shoulder, 1 tbsp at a time to ensure coverage. Season with salt and spices. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery around the shoulder.

Cover, place in oven, and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours until the inner temperature is at least 165F.

Slice and serve with roasted veggies or shred for pulled pork sandwiches with your favorite BBQ sauce.
