Main Ingredients

  • 3 pounds pork shoulder, boneless
  • 1 cup scallions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons thyme, dried
  • 4 tablespoons allspice, ground
  • 2 Scotch bonnet peppers, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marination Magic

  • Combine scallions, thyme, allspice, Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Rub the marinade generously over the pork, ensuring each nook and cranny is infused with flavor.
  • Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight.

Preheat to Perfection

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Slow Roast Elegance

  • Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Baste the pork with its own juices every 30 minutes for an extra layer of succulence.

Let It Rest

  • Allow the pork to rest for 15 minutes before slicing, letting the juices redistribute for an unparalleled tenderness.

Notes

This recipe combines traditional jerk flavors with a modern slow-roasting technique for tenderness and flavor.
