OVEN-STYLE KALUA PORK OR PIG

Steps:

• Each Pork Butt weighs in differently. For each pound of Pork use: ½ tablespoons Salt & ¾ tablespoons Liquid smoke (I use Hawaiian Salt and the Mesquite Flavor liquid Smoke, that tastes more like the real thing).
• Pre-heat the oven to 500?.
• Rub the Liquid Smoke all over the meat and then sprinkle evenly with the Sea Salt .
• Wrap the meat, Burrito style, in your leaves and then in Heavy Duty Foil.
• Place in a baking pan/dish and cover tightly with more foil.
• In it goes to the oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325?.
• Bake for an additional 3 ½ hours.
• Allow to cool, unwrap and discard the foil and leaves (save any juices).
• Shred the meat how you like, either by hand or using two forks, combining it with those lovely juices.
• Serve warm, the way we do in Hawaii, with steamed White (or Brown) Rice. MMM! ONO!
• **Cook's Note: Banana Leaves can be found in Ethnic markets in the freezer section. Of course, if you're lucky enough to find Green (not multi-colored) Ti Leaves, that would make it truer to the Imu-Cooked (underground pit-oven) Kalua Pig.
