- 3 lb boneless pork shoulder roast
- 1 T crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 T cracked black peppercorns
- 1 T cracked coriander seeds

Roast Pork with Shiitake Mushrooms Directions
- Place the pork shoulder in a large resealable plastic bag. In a bowl, stir together the crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, coriander, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Pour the spice mixture into the plastic bag, seal it, and shake it to coat the pork. Place bag in a shallow bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325℉.
- Set the pork shoulder in a small roasting pan, and roast for 2 hours 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest area of the meat reads 185℉. Remove from oven and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 more minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and golden-brown. Stir in the vinegar and cook until almost evaporated, then stir in the butter and chives. Cover again, and reduce heat to very low to keep warm.
- Slice the pork, and serve with the mushrooms on top.
