39 Pork shoulder Recipes From 32 Cuisines.

A hard-working cut threaded with fat and connective tissue, which is exactly why slow cooking transforms it: the collagen melts and the meat turns silky instead of dry. It is the classic choice for tacos al pastor, carnitas, pulled pork and countless European braises and roasts. Cut thin, it also takes high heat surprisingly well, charring at the edges while staying moist inside. Ask the butcher for the neck end if you want the most marbling for the money.
