Instructions
- Generously salt the pork roast with coarse Kosher sea salt, place back in the fridge up to 2 days. (optional but increases flavor)
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 250°F/121°C. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty foil and set a wire rack on top. Place in the oven and roast until the until you can insert a fork with no resistance, about 8 hours in total.
- Once the pork is cooked pull it from the oven and tent with foil, allow it to rest for 1-2 hours. Then increase the oven to 500°F/260°C, return the pork to the oven and roast until the skin is crackling and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 20 minutes, then shred the meat from the bone with 2 forks.
