Very Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Apples and Onion

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

A seasoned pork shoulder goes into the pot in the evening and roasts really slowly in the oven overnight, so by morning the meat is beautifully tender and juicy. In the late morning it just needs browning and basting with the pan juices, while simple pan-fried apples and onion come together on the side. It's an easy recipe to make – it just takes time and patience.

  1. 1/8

    Season the meat

    Rinse the pork shoulder, pat it dry, then season with your chosen spices, garlic, mustard and salt. If you like it saltier, use 3 teaspoons of salt; if you prefer less, 2 teaspoons will do.

  2. 2/8

    Rub it in

    It's best to mix all the spices together with the garlic, mustard and salt, then thoroughly massage the mixture into the meat on all sides. Feel free to let it rest in the fridge for a few hours, or even overnight.

  3. 3/8

    Into the oven

    The evening before you plan to serve it, place the shoulder in a roasting pan. Cover with the lid and add 100 ml of water. Put it into an oven preheated to 90°C. Roast overnight for 10 hours.

About this recipe

Whenever I get the chance to bring a treat like pork shoulder into my kitchen, I don't hesitate. And then I start thinking about what to do with it. It just can't be anything ordinary, so I go for a guaranteed winner: slow, very slow roasting. I feel like I've been using this method more and more lately. In the evening, before we go to bed, we put a cast-iron pot with the meat into the oven, set it to 100–120°C, and let it slowly cook all night long. By morning the meat is usually done, so all that's left is to finish it off or warm it through before lunch. The meat comes out tender, soft and juicy. I just can't get enough of this method.
