Ingredients:
8 lbs pork shoulder (with skin on)
salt and pepper
cloves of garlic
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 425F. Wash meat with water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper (enough to coat the entire meat once). Make a few slits on the meat and insert garlic. Place in a roasting pan (or disposable foil pan) skin side up. Add 1 cup of water. Place pan in the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 1.5 hours. Turn heat down to 350F. Bake for another 3 hours, or until internal meat temperature reaches between 160-175F. Remove pan from oven. Drain meat on a rack, then transfer on top of paper towels. Slice meat using a sharp, non-serrated knife. Serve with lechon sauce or vinegar/soy sauce for dipping.

Aloha Father:
This looks really good. My mom makes something similar but she marinates the pork in vinegar, herbs, spices, salt and pepper for a few days. Pervuian style lechon.
