Ingredients

2 cups orange juice
1 yellow onion, sliced
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 dried bay leaves
3 ½ pounds bone-in pork shoulder roast

Directions

Step 1
Mix orange juice, onion, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, salt, oregano, cumin, lime zest, pepper, and bay leaves in a heavy Dutch oven. Add pork shoulder; turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove Dutch oven from the refrigerator and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 3
Bake pork in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 1/2 hours. Flip pork carefully. Replace foil and bake for 1 hour more. Remove aluminum foil. Continue baking uncovered, turning once halfway through, until pork falls apart and marinade is reduced, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Step 4
Remove pork from oven and let rest for 20 minutes. Shred pork in the Dutch oven using 2 forks; mix shredded pork with the reduced marinade. Discard bay leaves.

Cook’s Notes:

Use 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder if preferred. For a shoulder of this size, the total cooking time is usually 4 to 5 hours, or 1 to 1 1/2 hour per pound.
