Orange-Marinated Pork Roast image

You need a V-shaped roasting rack for this. The pork is cooked to "tender rags"-long and slow with air circulating around it-producing the effect of rotisserie cooking. For a Caribbean flair, serve with black beans and rice. Serve leftovers in sandwiches.

Yield makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 5- to 7-pound boneless pork shoulder roast, tied
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the roast into a zip-top plastic bag. Add the remaining ingredients. Close the bag and gently knead it to mix the contents. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 275°F. Place the pork on a rack over a shallow roasting pan. Remove the roast from the marinade; save the marinade. Place the roast on the rack and insert the oven probe or a meat thermometer into the meatiest part.
  • Roast for 4 hours, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade, until the meat reaches 160°F.
  • Remove the meat from the rack. Let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
