This is an interesting looking roast recipe that has a lot of herbs and seasonings plus the butterflying and stuffing.
“Typically, a pork shoulder is butterflied, the seasoning is spread over the meat, and it’s then rolled up like a jelly roll and tied. The base seasoning ingredients are salt, pepper, fennel, and garlic. Beyond that, your imagination takes over. One pretty popular seasoning mix that I’ve had in the past is as follows.“
