Number Of Ingredients 6

4.5 pounds skin-on, boneless pork shoulder (preferably blade/butt end), butterflied
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black peppercorns
2 tablespoons dried dill weed
2 tablespoons dried dill seed
6 cloves garlic, minced

  • Close pork, so skin is on top, meat below and spicing is in centre; tie tightly with butcher's twine.
  • Place pork, skin side up, on rack in roasting pan. Roast in preheated 325F (160C) oven until internal temperature reaches 170F (77C), about 3 to 4 hours, depending on size.
