Recipe by Anna Stockwell This meltingly tender pork shoulder is the ultimate make-ahead dinner party main. A chimichurri-style fresh basil sauce balances the rich pork with bright zesty flavors.

Ingredients

8 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1/4 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons oregano leaves, finely chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika 1 skinless, boneless pork shoulder roast, tied (Boston butt; about 6 pounds)

Instructions

Cook the pork: Mix garlic, oil, mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika in a small bowl to form a paste. Rub all over pork, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag or slow cooker insert and chill overnight. Place pork in slow cooker, cover, and cook on low until meat is fork-tender but not yet completely falling apart, 7 1/2 –8 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Mix shallot, basil, oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt in an airtight container. Cover and let rest up to 3 hours at temperature or up to 2 days in refrigerator. Stir in lemon juice just before using. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice and transfer to a platter. Drizzle with sauce and serve with additional sauce alongside.
