Food Friday: Kalua Pork

First, find some strong men wearing lavas to help you.  Dig a pit.  Make sure it isn't near any fire hazards.  Get your pig from a local farmer.  Season it with sea or kosher salt. Wrap it in 

Okay, wait.

Actually, I thought I would share a simpler, less laborious, method of cooking Kalua pig.

Kalua Pork Crock Pot Style

4-5 lbs. Pork butt – boneless (or shoulder). If you want slices, use pork rump.

2-3 T. (to taste) Hawaiian salt or Rock salt

2 T. Liquid Smoke (found at your grocery store)

2 T. - 1/4 Cup water - (Just enough to not burn on bottom or more for a juicier meat)

Place water in crock pot, then choice of pork.  Add salt and liquid smoke.

Crock pot 6-8 hrs/low or 350 in oven for 5 hours.

Side suggestions:

White Rice – shorter the grain, the stickier

Steamed vegetables - I prefer broccoli, green cabbage and carrots

Macaroni Salad

Black Beans

Fresh Fruit

Green Salad

ENJOY!
