The Ultimate Garlic-Mustard Pork Roast Extravaganza

Introduction:

Hold onto your forks, folks, because we're about to embark on a flavor-filled journey with the Ultimate Garlic-Mustard Pork Roast!

This recipe starts with a hefty 2.5-kilogram pork shoulder that's about to become the star of your dinner table.

We’ve taken garlic cloves, sliced them up, and snuggled them into little pockets in the meat – think of it as a garlic spa treatment for pork.

Next, we’ve slathered it in mustard and barbecue sauce – it's like a flavor party on the pork’s surface!

But wait, there’s more: we’ve seasoned it with a fresh pepper blend that’ll give your taste buds a delightful tingle.

After a cozy two-hour roast in the oven, your pork shoulder will be as tender as a hug and as flavorful as a symphony.

So, put on your apron and get ready for a roast that’s guaranteed to make your taste buds sing!

Ingredients:

• 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) pork shoulder (the bigger, the better)
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled and ready for action
• 4 tablespoons mustard (the zippier, the better)
• 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce (the more, the merrier)
• 5 tablespoons freshly ground mixed peppercorns (for that extra zing)
• Salt, because everything needs a little salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) – time to get things cooking!
2. Grab a knife and make some nifty slits all over your pork shoulder. Stuff those garlic slices into the slits like you're tucking in little garlic pillows.
3. Slather the pork with mustard like you’re painting a masterpiece. Make sure it’s fully coated!
4. Brush that glorious barbecue sauce all over the mustard-coated pork. No need to be neat – messy is good.
5. Sprinkle the freshly ground peppercorns and a bit of salt all over the pork. It’s like giving your pork a flavor makeover.
6. Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. The foil is like a warm blanket for the pork.
7. Roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and its internal temperature hits 70°C (160°F). It’s the ultimate test of patience, but oh so worth it!
8. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of roasting to let the pork develop a crispy, caramelized crust. You want that golden, crunchy goodness.
9. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. It’s like giving the pork a little nap after all that roasting.
10. Serve with your favorite sides and watch as everyone devours it with gusto!
