👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the soy sauce, honey, mustard, garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, paprika, salt and black pepper and brush the meat all over with the sauce.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Place the meat in a baking pan.
    Baking pan
  4. 4
    Bake tightly covered with foil 120 minutes, until the meat softens.

    💡Shoulder is rich in connective tissue: only long, covered baking, in the steam of the liquids in the pan, makes it tender. The cover comes off only at the end, for browning.
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  5. 5
    Bake without the foil, after raising the heat to 200°C (390°F), 20–30 minutes, until the meat is browned, tender and falls apart easily with a fork.
