Boston Butt Pork Roast
Ingredients
- 1 Boston butt pork roast, 5-6 pounds
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground red pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 medium onions, chopped fine
- 1 medium bell pepper, chopped fine
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon dark roux
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ½ cup chopped parsley
Directions
Trim the roast of any excess fat. Mince the garlic very fine and combine it with the salt and peppers in a small bowl. Make 5 or 6 incisions in the roast and stuff some of this mixture into them. Rub the remainder on the surface of the roast, wrap well in plastic, and place in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 250 F. Transfer the roast to a pan or roaster, cover with the onions and bell pepper, and add the water. Cook uncovered in the oven until the meat reaches 165 F on a meat thermometer, 5-7 hours (it should be not at all pink inside, but still juicy.) If you want to speed up the cooking process, you can cook the roast at 350 F, which will take 3-4 hours, but the longer, slower cooking will give a more tender and flavorful result
