Fennel and Herb Crusted Pork Roast Recipe

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350° (Fahrenheit)
2. 2
   Combine fennel, rosemary, oregano peppercorns, and salt in a spice grinder, pulse until roughly the consistency of kosher salt. (No grinder? Use a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy frying pan to grind the herbs and pepper down)
3. 3
   Turn roast fat side up on a roasting rack or in a roasting pan, cover roast liberally with spice mixture.
4. 4
   Place a probe thermometer in the meatiest part of the shoulder, careful to not touch bone as it will alter the temperature reading drastically.
5. 5
   Roast uncovered on the center oven rack until internal temperature reads 170°F (About 2 hours.)
6. 6
   Remove from oven, and let rest at least 10 minutes before carving.
