Recipe Instructions:
- Preparation: Begin by scoring small marinating slits all over the pork butt roast.
- Marinade: In a bowl, combine half of the garlic (minced), dried oregano, freshly ground black pepper, flour, and olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the pork roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Spice Paste: In a food processor or blender, puree the remaining garlic cloves, onion (chopped), salt, and allspice until you achieve a smooth paste. Rub this flavorful mixture over the marinated pork roast.
- Marination: Cover the pork roast and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat.
- Roasting: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the marinated pork roast, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan to ensure even cooking.
- Cooking: Roast the pork butt in the preheated oven for approximately 3 1/2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C), ensuring the meat is tender and juicy.
- Resting: Once cooked, remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serving: Serve your Caribbean-inspired pork butt roast hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the burst of flavors with each succulent bite.
This Caribbean Pork Butt Roast is a delightful fusion of savory spices and tender meat, making it a perfect centerpiece for any occasion.
