roast pan or casserole dish with wire rack

Ingredients

For the rub:

3½ pound pork roast shoulder or butt (I prefer to use pork shoulder.)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
optional: 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Ingredients to add in the last hour of roasting:

6 medium carrots
3 medium onions
10 cloves garlic
2 sprigs thyme
¾ cup white wine pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
¾ cup water

Instructions

To prepare the roast:

Mix the kosher salt and pepper (and dried thyme if using) and rub all over the entire roast.
Cover and place in the fridge overnight or up to 24 hours.

To roast:

Remove the roast one hour before roasting to allow the meat to come to room temperature. (This results in a more tender roast.)
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Place the roast on a wire rack set in a roast pan. (Make sure that the roast pan can accommodate the added veggies in the last hour of roasting time.)
Slow roast for 4-4½ hours.
Add the remaining ingredients and roast for one additional hour. Stir the vegetables every 20 minutes to encourage even cooking.
Remove the roast and using tongs or large forks break the roast into 6 large chunks.
Increase the temperature of the oven to 375°F. Return the pan with the roast pieces and veggies back to the oven and roast an additional 15 minutes.
Remove the roast and veggies from the oven and transfer to plate. Let rest covered with tin foil for 15 minutes before serving.
