hawaiian kalua pork in the crockpot
(1 rating)
In Hawaii, Kalua Pork is a delicious food that is part of every Luau. It’s a whole pig wrapped in ti leaves and buried in a pit lined with fire heated stones and left to steam all day. With this recipe you can create the same taste of Hawaii for your party or for your family to enjoy. I put together ideas from several recipes to come up with this one. The meat is scored so the flavors will better penetrate the meat. The liquid smoke, coarse salt, spinach, and apple cider all contribute to a delicious result.
