Chef John's Garlic-Studded Roast Pork Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Chef John's Garlic-Studded Roast Pork Recipe). Garlic-studded, herb-rubbed pork shoulder is such a great cut of meat. I cooked it in a pan without liquid, without covering it, and without cooking it at a really low temperature. I didn't want it to be falling apart and wet; I wanted it to be solid, chewy and crusty.
