Slow Cooker Kalua Pig


Slow Cooker Kalua Pig

One of the best things about living in Hawaii is the food! I lived on the island of Maui and went to a lot of luaus where they kill a pig, season it and wrap it in Ti leaves, then bury that bad boy in the sand for hours. The resulting meat dish is so tender it will melt in your mouth, bruddah! It's like meat heaven. I have tried and tried to get that same taste here in Texas by using my crock pot.

This is the best recipe I have seen so far:
(From the January Issue of The Costco Connection 2014)

Three slices of bacon to line the bottom of the slow cooker.
Five pound Boston butt pork boneless roast - evenly salt the pork butt with coarse Hawaiian sea salt and place, skin side up on top of the bacon.

Cook on slow for 16 hours.

Remove the roast from the crock pot and shred the meat with a couple of forks adding in the juices from the crock pot to make a nice juicy porky pan of meat.
