Ingredients
- 4 –5 pound pork butt or pork shoulder roast
- 2 tablespoons Hawaiian sea salt or coarse kosher salt
- 1½ tablespoons liquid smoke
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pork
- Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels.
- Using a fork, prick holes all over the surface of the meat.
- Rub the salt and liquid smoke all over, massaging them into every part of the pork.
Step 2: Slow Cook
- Place the seasoned pork in the slow cooker.
- Cover with the lid and set to LOW for 8 to 10 hours.
- Flip the pork once halfway through cooking, if you can.
Step 3: Shred and Serve
- When the pork is very tender and falling apart, transfer it to a large dish or cutting board.
- Shred using two forks, removing any excess fat as you go.
- Return some of the juices to the shredded pork if you want extra moisture.
Step 4: Enjoy!
- Serve your kalua pig with rice, in tacos or sliders, or as part of a Hawaiian plate lunch.
- It also freezes beautifully for future meals.
