Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub 2 lbs pork shoulder all over with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp sea salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 15 chopped fresh sage leaves.
Step 2: Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan, scatter 1 large sliced apple around it, and pour 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1 cup chicken stock into the pan.
Step 3: Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and roast in the oven for 4 hours, basting with pan juices every hour.
Step 4: After 4 hours, remove the foil and increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Roast uncovered for an additional 20 minutes to crisp the pork skin.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with apples and pan juices.
