kalua pig
My Hawaiian neighbor made this and brought over a container full for my family. It is soooo good so she wrote down how she makes it. I am adding it here for safe keeping. :) The prep directions are the same whether you are cooking it in the stove or crock pot. This is so incredibly simple but the finished product is so yummy. Enjoy! :)

How To Make kalua pig
-
Step 1Cut 1/4 inch slits all over your pork butt and rub the salt into the meat. Dribble a little liquid smoke on it too and rub it in with the salt.

Step 2oven directions- cook at 350º about 6 hours pour some water on the bottom of your pan along with the liquid smoke. Cover w/ foil for the first 5 hours then take foil off to crisp up the skin. Add water if your pan becomes dry. After 6 hours. Take your pork butt out and let it rest for a few minutes. Then shred with two forks. Some of the liquid from the pan should be added back to the shredded pork for flavor.
