Slow Cooker Kalua Pork

While in Hawaii, Aunt Amanda cooked us up some Kalua pork.  She told me the ingredients and I couldn't believe that something so good only required 3 ingredients. But it really is that easy yet that good! So good that I had to try a little bit of Hawaii here in Nashville tonight! Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
  • 1-1.5 tbs liquid smoke
  • 2-3 tbs Hawaiian Sea Salt (note: I had to go to Whole Foods to find this kind of salt. I am sure regular sea salt would have been fine)
  • 1 4-6 pork shoulder or Boston butt roast
Instructions:
Wash pork. Pierce all over with fork. Throw in crock pot.  Cover evenly with liquid smoke
and salt.  Cook on LOW for 8-12 hours.  We cooked for around 9 1/2 hours.

Shred and serve - it is good enough to go by itself, but we served taco-style with corn tortillas, cilantro, onions and tomatoes.

Enjoy and thanks Aunt Amanda!
