Questions about Pork shoulder roast
How do you roast pork shoulder so it pulls apart easily?
For a 2 kg joint, roast it covered at 160°C (140°C fan) for about 4–5 hours, until a fork twists easily and the centre is around 90–95°C. Uncover it for the final 30 minutes if you want the outside to brown.
How do you get crackling on a pork shoulder roast?
Pat the skin very dry, score it without cutting into the meat, then rub salt into the scores. Start at 220°C (200°C fan) for 25–30 minutes, then lower the oven for the rest of the cooking; if the joint is covered for slow roasting, uncover it for the final blast.
Should you buy bone-in or boneless pork shoulder for roasting?
A bone-in joint can be flavourful but takes longer to cook and is less straightforward to carve. Boneless shoulder is easier to roll, season and slice; tie it securely so it cooks evenly.
What can you make with leftover pork shoulder roast?
Shred or finely chop it for sandwiches, tacos, fried rice or a pork-and-vegetable pie. Reheat leftovers until steaming hot throughout, adding a splash of stock or cooking juices to keep the meat moist.
How should you store pork shoulder roast?
Refrigerate cooked pork promptly in a covered container, ideally in portions so it cools quickly, and use it within two days. Freeze portions with a little cooking juice to help prevent them drying out when reheated.
What goes well with pork shoulder roast?
Serve it with roast potatoes, apple sauce and greens, or pair pulled pork with soft rolls and crunchy slaw. Its rich, slow-cooked flavour also works well with mustard, sage, rosemary and cider-based gravy.
How much protein is in a serving of pork shoulder roast?
A serving of about 85 g provides 22 g of protein. Pork shoulder is also high in zinc, with 4.2 mg per 100 g.
