Puerto Rican BBQ Pork Shoulder

Steps

• 1

  Place the pork shoulder, fat-side up, on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, score the skin and fat in a cross-hatch pattern, making diagonal cuts about 1-1/2” apart and cutting down to the meat so the marinade can penetrate. Transfer the pork to a large resealable plastic bag set in a baking dish or bowl.

  In a blender, add the garlic, oregano, cilantro, cumin, lime juice, orange juice, chipotle and adobo sauce, 3 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil and pulse until pureed.
