1. Score Pork Skin
Score the pork skin with a cross-hatch pattern to allow the seasonings to penetrate deeply.
2. Prepare Seasoning Paste
Combine garlic, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and vinegar into a food processor or mortar and pestle to create a thick paste.
3. Season Pork
Massage the seasoning paste thoroughly over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is fully coated.
4. Roast Pork
Roast the seasoned pork shoulder in a preheated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit, turning every hour and adding water if necessary to keep it moist, until the meat is tender.
5. Crisp the Skin
Increase the oven temperature if needed to crisp the skin to a golden brown.
6. Rest and Serve
Let the roasted pork rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting into chunks and serving with a wedge of lime.
