Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork shoulder roast dry with paper towels. This helps the spice rub adhere better.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the caraway seeds, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a spice rub.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil all over the pork roast, then massage the spice mixture onto the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 5

In a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the pork roast on all sides until it is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step locks in flavor.

Step 7

Remove the pork roast temporarily and add the sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth and white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. These add tremendous flavor to the dish.

Step 9

Return the pork roast to the skillet and spoon some of the liquid over the top.

Step 10

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Roast for approximately 3 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart. Baste the roast with the liquids every 45 minutes for added moisture and flavor.

Step 12

Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with the pan juices, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dishes.
