Oven-Roasted Pork Butt with Rosemary, Garlic, and Black Pepper

It doesn't get much easier than this. I altered the methods a bit to make this an easy slow cooker dinner. I had some leeks hanging out in the fridge, so I sliced those and stuck them on the bottom. The pork came out perfectly cooked and the leeks were surprisingly good (well they had been braised in pork fat).

Oven-Roasted Pork Butt with Rosemary, Garlic, and Black Pepper (slightly adapted from In The Kitchen with A Good Appetite)

Ingredients
1 boneless pork shoulder (5 - 7 lbs)
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
sliced leeks (if desired)

1. Using a mortar and pestle, mash together garlic and salt to form a paste. Stir in olive oil, rosemary, mustard, and black pepper. Rub mixture all over pork and marinate for 2 hours - overnight.
2. Place leeks (if using in the bottom of a slow cooker) and put pork on top. Cook on low for 8 hours or until very tender.
