Grilled honey mustard pork shoulder

Today I'd like to share a recipe for a grilled honey mustard pork shoulder.


 

Grilled pork shoulder is soft; marinade balances the sharpness of mustard with the sweetness of honey; and everything is underlined with a smoke aroma. There is a fair bit of fat here, sure, so it's not really a choice for people preferring lean meats - but oh, the flavour!

You'll find the list of ingredients and method below.



Ingredients

  • 1.1 kg trimmed pork shoulder (~1.5 kg before removing the skin)
  • 120 g olive oil
  • 100 g honey
  • 100 g Dijon mustard
  • 4 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dry rosemary
  • 1 tsp dry thyme

 Method

  1. Rinse the pork shoulder and pat it dry; cut off the skin. Cut the meat into 1 cm slices.
  2. Into a bowl add olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard and lemon juice. Press garlic into the mix and season with salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary and thyme. Stir thoroughly to obtain a smooth paste.
  3. Add meat into the marinade. Make sure that it is fully submerged in the liquid. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and put into a fridge for 6 hours, or ideally overnight.
  4. Grill the meat for 7-10 minutes on each side. It's ready when juices flowing out of the meat are clear. Serve with your favourite sides.
  5. Enjoy!
