Ingredients

6 to 8 pound pork shoulder

Garlic cloves, to taste

Hot peppers (optional & we do not use)

Dried basil, to taste

Dried rosemary, to taste

Dried parsley, to taste

Dried oregano, to taste

2 bay leaves

2 to 3 cups of water

Directions

Trim as much of the fat from the pork shoulder as possible.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Cut slits in the trimmed meat and insert sliced garlic cloves and hot peppers, if desired.

Rub with the herbs/spices.

**Fresh herbs do not work as well in this dish as dried.

Place pork in a heavy Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid.

Add water to a level about halfway up the sides of the roast.

Bake, covered, for approximately 11 hours (while you sleep!).

Remove meat from oven.

Stir with meat fork to break up or shred the pork.

Allow to sit for any grease to rise.

Defat meat juices.

Eat, eat, eat and enjoy!

**It's a safe bet that the aroma will waken you during the night. That's a good time to check the water level in the pot.
