Smother pork shoulder in minced garlic and a bit of salt and ground
cumin. Cover pan with foil. Bake low and slow (300*) for about 3 1/2
hours or until the shoulder bone is loose and meat is tender. Let
meat stand for about 30 mins then break into chunks- not too small- and
place meat back into the oven set at 375* uncovered for about 15- 20
mins to crisp. Shred meat with a fork.

Serve with fresh warmed corn tortillas, a good fresh salsa, and
cilantro leaves. I'll take a beer with that, thanks.

Aloha!
