What's for Dinner [Greek Roasted Pork]

Hubby and I both love pork (well, Hubby did until he decided he's allergic, but that's a whole other story....) and although BBQ is probably the most popular way to fix a shoulder, in our little hive we LOVE to roast it Greek style.  Although it cooks for quite a while, the prep work is minimal and the result is juicy, flavorful yumminess.

Greek Roasted Pork

Ingredients:

• 1 5 lb pork shoulder
• 2 lemons, one for roast, one for serving
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh oregano
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 t salt
• 2 t pepper
• several cloves garlic, unpeeled, if desired

Directions:

• Mix oregano, salt, and pepper, set aside.
• Place roast in roasting pan on rack, and place garlic under roast.
• Squeeze juice of one lemon over roast.
• Pour oil over roast and garlic.
• Rub spices over entire roast.
• Bake in 350 oven for 3 hours, or until thermometer reads 150.  Remove from oven and allow to rest before slicing.
• Can add chicken broth and lemon juice to pan while baking.
• Serve with additional lemon, if desired.

Happy Greek Cooking!
