Prepare the marinade by mixing all of the ingredients EXCEPT the pork and the water into a Ziplock bag. Add in the pork and seal the bag up. Place the bag in a bowl in case any leaks happen. Ideally, you will marinate this the night before cooking. If you can't marinate a full night, try to get at least 4-6 hours.
When you are ready to start cooking, remove the bowl from the fridge and let sit at room temp for 30 minutes to take the chill off.
Preheat oven to 350F
Remove the pork from the bag and be careful to save all of the marinade (we will use this liquid for braising).
Heat a large, heavy, Dutch oven over high heat using the stovetop or induction cooktop. Drizzle some olive oil in the Dutch oven and sear all sides of the pork. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side, 10-15 minutes in total.
Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Next, carefully add the marinade + 1 cup of water into the Dutch oven.
Place lid on the Dutch oven and roast in the oven for about 4 hours, or until very fork-tender.
