Hawaiian Kalua Pork in the Crockpot image

In Hawaii, Kalua Pork is a delicious food that is part of every Luau. It's a whole pig wrapped in ti leaves and buried in a pit lined with fire heated stones and left to steam all day. With this recipe you can create the same taste of Hawaii for your party or for your family to enjoy. I put together ideas from several recipes...

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5-6 lb pork but or sholder
4 Tbsp hawiian or coarse sea salt
4 Tbsp liquid smoke flavoring
ti leaves, banana leaves, or spinach leaves to cover pork
2 c apple cider or water

Steps:

  • 1. Cut small slits, about 1 to 1-1/2 inches in length, all along the surface of the pork. Rub the pork with Hawaiian or coarse sea salt then with liquid smoke.
  • 2. Lay out a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, and place leaves on top. Place pork on leaves and wrap them around the pork. Cover with remaining leaves until pork is completely covered. Wrap the foil tightly around the pork to make a seal.
  • 3. Place roast in a slow cooker with apple cider or water. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
  • 4. Remove meat from slow cooker. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes then shred adding drippings if needed to keep the meat moist.

I tried this recipe and the pork was a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
