Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C).
-
Brown the Pork: In a heavy, large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over high heat. Once hot, add the boneless pork shoulder, fat side down. Brown the pork on all sides, turning often. This should take about 12 minutes.
-
Apply Hoisin Sauce: Remove the pot from the heat. Spread the hoisin sauce evenly over the pork shoulder. Sprinkle the sliced green onions and whole black peppercorns over the hoisin sauce.
-
Cook in Oven: Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Slow cook the pork until it is very tender and easily pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 2 3/4 hours. If the mixture becomes dry during cooking, add water to the pot in 1/4 cup increments.
-
Rest the Pork: Once the pork is cooked, remove the pot from the oven. Transfer the pork shoulder to a cutting board and tent it loosely with foil. Allow the pork to rest for 20 minutes.
-
Prepare the Sauce: While the pork is resting, spoon off any excess fat from the pan juices. Stir in the whiskey and 3/4 cup of water into the juices. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 2 minutes. Adjust the sauce’s consistency by adding more water if it’s too thick or allowing it to boil down if it’s too thin.
-
Slice and Garnish: After resting, cut the pork crosswise on a slight diagonal into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a serving platter. Garnish with additional sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
-
Serve: To serve, pour the flavorful pan sauce over the sliced pork. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed sweet potatoes and Lemon Glazed Brussels Sprouts for a complete and satisfying meal that’s sure to impress!
