Time 5h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 6- or 7-pound picnic ham or pork butt, trimmed of skin but not fat
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 bunch collard greens, washed and trimmed of stems but with ribs intact

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. With a sharp knife, score pork on all sides. Mix paprika and salt together, and rub seasoning evenly over pork.
  • Wrap shoulder as completely as possible with large collard leaves and secure with butchers' twine. Place roast in center of a large sheet of tinfoil, and gather foil up and around roast. Put an additional sheet or two of foil over roast as necessary, so it is completely wrapped.
  • Place pork shoulder on a rack in a roasting pan measuring 9 by 13 inches, and pour an inch of water into pan. Transfer pork to oven, and cook for half an hour. Reduce temperature to 450 degrees, and cook for 4 hours, adding more water every half-hour if necessary.
  • Remove pork from oven, and let rest 10 minutes. Transfer to a pan or a large platter with sides steep enough to collect juices. Unwrap tinfoil, and remove wrapping of cooked greens. With your fingers, pull pork off and shred it. Serve with a bowl of cooking liquid and poi, for dipping.

I cooked the Kalua pig in my slow cooker, and it turned out great.

I'm allergic to cabbage, so I omitted it from the recipe. The Kalua pig was still delicious.

I didn't have any cabbage on hand, so I used kale instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This was my first time making Kalua pig, and it was easier than I thought it would be. The pork shoulder was cooked to perfection, and the cabbage was tender and flavorful.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The pork shoulder is so flavorful and moist, and the cabbage is a great accompaniment.
