Shredded Slow-Roasted Herb Dijon Pork Shoulder

Shredded Slow-Roasted Herb Dijon Pork Shoulder

Since we have all been sick, I wanted to make a comforting Sunday night dinner. I grabbed a pork shoulder from the store and slow roasted it in the oven all afternoon. The pork smelled amazing while it roasted and turned out tender, juicy, and flavorful. Due to the large bone going through my pork shoulder, I decided to just shred the meat with forks instead of slicing it. I served this slow-roasted pork shoulder with Roasted Green Beans with Herbs, Shallots, and Garlic and White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes with a bit of gravy. The meal was enjoyed by my entire family–it was comforting and delicious. The leftover pork was tasty too.
