You're in for a culinary treat with this overnight pork shoulder that becomes incredibly tender through very slow roasting—the key is patience and letting the oven do most of the work while you sleep. After seasoning the meat thoroughly and letting it rest overnight, you'll pop it in the oven for a long, slow cook that shifts from low heat to gradually higher temperatures by morning, finishing with a quick pan-sear of apples and onions for a delicious side.

Season the meat
Wash the pork shoulder and pat it dry, then season it with your chosen spices, garlic, mustard and salt. If you like it saltier, use 3 teaspoons of salt; for a milder taste, 2 teaspoons is enough.

Rub it in
For best results, mix all the spices together with the garlic, mustard and salt, then rub the mixture thoroughly into the meat on all sides. Let it rest in the fridge for a few hours, or ideally overnight.

Start roasting
The evening before you plan to serve the meat, place the shoulder in a roasting pan. Cover with a lid and add 1 dl of water. Put it into an oven preheated to 90°C and roast overnight for 10 hours.
