Sometimes I need a little bit of food from home. It might mean spam musubi, or mochiko chicken, but recently, I decided to make Kalua pig. I found a slow cooker recipe awhile ago, and it turned out pretty well. It is super easy, and I do love my crockpot. Enjoy!
Kalua Pig in a Slow cooker
adapted from allrecipes.com
Ingredients
1 6-lb. pork butt*
1 1/2 tablespoons Hawaiian salt
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
Directions
Pierce pork all over with a fork. Rub salt, and then liquid smoke all over pork. Place roast in slow cooker*. Cover and cook on low for 16 to 20 hours, turning once during cook time. Remove meat from slow cooker and shred. Add drippings as needed to moisten.
*My minor modifications: I use pork shoulder, and I place the roast in fatty side up, and do not turn during cooking.
I have never made Kalua pig in a slow cooker! Mostly because I'm lazy and just buy it from the store! But now I wanna try!!
