Kalua Pork

This is a super simple recipe, that has a great end product! It is a recipe inspired by the luau as a means of enjoying the flavors of a roasted pig without the inconvenience of buying a whole pig, digging a huge pit in your back yard, and finding banana leaves to wrap the pig in, etc... Enjoy this tasty treat!

What You Need

1 3lb Pork Roast

liquid smoke

Sea salt (I have used regular table salt and it worked too, but sea salt is always better if you have it)

Directions

Poke holes all over the pork roast with fork or knife. Place Roast in crock-pot then coat roast with liquid smoke and sprinkle with salt. You want to use around 1/3 of the bottle of liquid smoke, so that there is a thin layer on the bottom of the crock-pot, but the roast isn't swimming in it. You also want to get a good amount of salt sprinkled over since it gives it a good salty flavor and helps bring out the smokiness. Let cook on low for 6-8 hours. Pork will be fall apart tender when done. Shred with a fork, stir shredded pork around in the remaining sauce, and serve. It makes amazing sandwiches, is great with rice, or even makes great burritos. Of course you could always go luau style and just serve it with sweet potatoes, rice, and fruit.
