OVEN KALUA PORK



Oven Kalua Pork image

Fire up the tiki torches -- it's time for a luau! This delicious slow-roasted pork is rubbed with sea salt and liquid smoke to recall the glorious flavors of pig cooked in a traditional Hawaiian imu. Once cooked and cooled, it can be shredded and served with poi, yams or even on a bun. You may use ordinary sea salt for this recipe if the Hawaiian variety is unavailable.

HAWAIIAN KAILUA PORK

Ohhhh... you have not lived until you've had Kailua Pork with Rice. Succulent, smoky flavor. Heavenly! This was given to me by my friend Andrea when she made it a year or so ago for a group of us and I begged her for the recipe. She grew up in Hawaii with her sisters and this is one recipe that they brought with them. Every ingredient is essential, don't skip them. I'm guessing at the servings but 5 lbs is a lot of meat.

Time 5h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 lbs boston butt
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 bottle liquid smoke
1 bag spinach

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a 9 x 13 pan with one layer heavy duty aluminum foil or two sheets regular foil.
  • Place half the spinach on the bottom where the roast will sit.
  • Rub the roast with the salt (sea salt is the best flavor for your pork).
  • Place on spinach bed then pour the whole bottle of liquid smoke over it.
  • Layer the rest of the spinach on the top and roll the foil up around the pork to cover it entirely like a package.
  • (the spinach should be surrounding it and the foil should make it so none of the juices spill out.) Bake in the oven for 5 hours.
  • When done it will fall apart and it is shredded easily with a couple of forks.
  • Excellent with sticky rice.
  • (short-grain rice).
