Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan 8 garlic cloves, peeled 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves 2 tablespoons fennel seed Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 boneless pork shoulder (4 pounds), thin layer of fat left on 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a heavy-bottomed metal roasting pan. In a food processor, combine oil, garlic, rosemary, fennel seed, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until a paste forms.

With a paring knife, gently score the pork’s fat layer, making 10 to 15 small 1/2-inch-deep cuts all over. Rub pork with garlic paste, pushing it into cuts. With kitchen twine, tie pork in 1-inch increments and transfer to pan.

Roast until golden brown, 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center reads 170 degrees, about 2 1/2 hours. Transfer pork to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a small bowl and skim fat. Set pan over medium, add wine, and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits, until wine is reduced by half, 4 minutes. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in drippings and broth. Cook, whisking, until sauce thickens slightly, 3 minutes. Serve with pork.

Cook’s Notes For a party, put the roast in the oven in the afternoon so it’s ready as guests arrive. Make the pan sauce just before serving.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       04/21/2019   I haven't made this yet - the recipe includes 1.5 cups of chicken stock, but then it doesn't say where to use it or now in the instructions. I'm pretty sure it goes in the sauce - just would like a little more help on when to add it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/10/2017   This is very similar to how my nonna and my mother slow roasted their bone-in pork shoulder roast--minus the fennel seed. So flavorful and tender. I'll have to try this gravy next time. Rosemary and garlic is just a match made in heaven for pork.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/07/2015   This recipe sounds amazing, however I really don't like rosemary and only tolerate fennel (sorry). What would you recommend I use instead?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/22/2012   Cooked roast pork without pan sauce and it was succulent, juicy and absolutely delicious. Next time I will reduce the amount of fennel seed as it was somewhat overpowering.
