Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Mustard and Sage

This slow-roasted pork shoulder with mustard and sage is the ultimate centrepiece for a relaxed Sunday lunch. By cooking the pork at a lower temperature over several hours, the meat becomes incredibly tender, falling away from the bone with very little effort. The crust, infused with pungent Dijon mustard, fresh sage, and aromatic marjoram, provides a deeply savoury contrast to the succulent, juicy meat hidden beneath.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for those monitoring their blood sugar levels. Serve this comforting roast alongside a generous portion of steamed seasonal greens or roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a balanced, nutritious meal that doesn't compromise on flavour or satisfaction.

Ingredients for Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Mustard and Sage

  • 1 skinless, bone-in pork shoulder (Boston butt

  • 5–2.7kg )

  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

  • 120ml Dijon mustard

  • 60ml finely chopped fresh sage

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh marjoram

  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

How to make Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Mustard and Sage

Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 163°C. Season pork with salt and pepper. Mix mustard, sage, marjoram, and garlic in a small bowl. Spread all over pork, working it into all the crevices.

Place pork, fat side up, on a rack set inside a roasting pan and roast, basting with pan juices about every hour and tenting with foil if pork browns too quickly, until pork is well browned and very tender, 5–6 hours (depending on size of pork shoulder).

Let pork rest at least 10 minutes before serving (the meat should pull apart easily).
