Rosted pork shoulder-Old fasioned Polish marinate



This is an old receipt which is rich in herbs & spices. To prepare this wonderful meal you will need:
  • 2 kg (about 4lbs) of pork shoulder meat,
  • 300ml of cooking oil,
  • 2 table spoons of Balsamic vinegar,
  • 1 tea spoon of mustard,
  • grounded spices: garlic, rose marry, onion, pepper, imbir, sugar, thyme, bay leaves
  • Important: do not add salt since it makes meat tougher and cooks longer

Mix well all spices with oil and vinegar and marinate meat for at least 24 hours. For best results marinate even longer, turning it over every few hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and when ready cook your roast in a pan for approximately 120min, keeping it covered with aluminum foil to retain moisture. Make sure to include your marinate in your pan. Remember, there is already plenty of oil and spices within it, therefore use it!


When ready, cut thick slices and server with either rice, potatoes or in our case: cous-cous.
To add even more flavor we cooked additional souse.
You can use dark gravy or horseradish as a base for your souse.

Goes very well with red wine! Enjoy... and until next week, bone appetite!
