Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Combine garlic cloves, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mortar and pestle; mash into a paste.
  3. 3 Cut deep slits into pork with a small knife. Stuff slits with garlic paste; rub any remaining paste over pork.
  4. 4 Place pork in a plastic roasting bag and put in a roasting pan with a rack. Let marinate in the refrigerator, 8 to 48 hours.
  5. 5 Take pork out of the refrigerator, uncover, and bring to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  7. 7 Roast pork skin-side down in the preheated oven until golden-brown, about 2 hours.
  8. 8 Flip pork and continue roasting, skin-side up, until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 2 to 4 hours more.
