Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless or bone-in)
- 8 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Begin by patting the pork shoulder dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary to create a seasoning paste.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well-coated.
Place the seasoned pork into the slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, then pour the mixture around the base of the pork in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid, set it to low, and cook for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Shred the pork with two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat if desired.
Optional: Strain and skim the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and drizzle it over the shredded pork for added moisture and flavor.
Serve the garlic pork roast over mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwiches. Enjoy!
