Yield Makes about 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large banana leaf
6-lb boneless pork shoulder Boston roast (Boston butt), cut across grain into 6 pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 1/2 tablespoons natural liquid smoke-flavoring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Lay 2 sheets of foil (each about 1 feet long) on a work surface with long sides overlapping by about 4 inches. Cut 2 (12-inch) lengths from banana leaf and center 1 on foil. Put pork on banana leaf and sprinkle with salt and liquid smoke. Cover top of pork with other 12-inch length of banana leaf and 2 overlapping sheets of foil (each about 1 1/2 feet long). Crimp edges of foil tightly to form a packet and put in a large roasting pan. Add 1 inches of water and cover pan tightly with more foil.
  • Bake pork in middle of oven 4 hours. Pour off liquid from pan and, when pork is just cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks in a bowl. Serve warm.
