Florida has a strong Spanish/Puerto Rican/Cuban influence.
Called Pernil, it is very good.
My version is equal parts vinegar and EVOO, about 1/3 C each. A tsp salt per pound of meat, 2TBS dried Oregano, 1Tbs Black Pepper and at least one head of Garlic blended well.
Then poke deep holes with a paring knife and inject into the holes, all sides. Spread remainder over the top.
Preheat oven to 400. Put Butt on rack in roasting pan, put in oven for 20 minutes, then take out, cover with foil, turn oven down to 250 for 3 hours, uncover and cook another 1-2 hours depending on size.
After I shred the meat I pour some of the drippings back over the meat but that's just me.
