Marinated Pork Shoulder

Marinated Pork Shoulder

Everyday

Marinated pork shoulder is a flavorful, fatty cut from the upper front leg of the pig, typically treated with acidic or enzymatic marinades to tenderize its dense muscle fibers. This budget-friendly cut becomes exceptionally moist when slow-cooked, with its high collagen content breaking down into gelatin for succulent pulled pork or roasts. While rich in protein, it contains more fat than leaner cuts like tenderloin, making marinades with vinegar, citrus, or tropical fruits particularly effective for both flavor enhancement and texture improvement.
