Ingredients

5-6 lb (2.3-2.7 kg) pork shoulder
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tsp dried rosemary
2 tsp dried thyme
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 onions, quartered
4 carrots, cut into large chunks
2 cups (480 ml) chicken broth
1 cup (240 ml) dry white wine (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). 
2. Season the pork shoulder generously with salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Rub olive oil all over the meat.
3. Place the onions and carrots in the bottom of a roasting pan. Set the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the vegetables.
4. Pour the chicken broth and wine (if using) into the pan, around the pork.
5. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil or a lid, and roast in the preheated oven for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
6. Remove from oven and let the pork rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted vegetables and pan juices.
