Roast pork is a dish that embodies the spirit of American cuisine, where simplicity and rich flavor go hand in hand. The recipe's roots trace back to the traditions of the southern states of the USA, where meat is cooked slowly to allow spices to deeply penetrate its structure. Wrapped in foil, the pork shoulder becomes tender, while garlic adds zest and aroma. Salt and spices create a rich bouquet of flavors that pairs perfectly with vegetables or baked potatoes. This dish will be the centerpiece of any gathering, providing warmth and enjoyment with every bite. It is suitable for both festive dinners and family gatherings, impressing with its juiciness and aroma.
