Kalua Pork Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the pork shoulder with sea salt and drizzle with liquid smoke, ensuring it is well-coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a large roasting pan, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for about 6-8 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then shred the meat using two forks.

  4. 4

    Mix with BBQ Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded pork with Hawaiian BBQ sauce, mixing well to ensure all the meat is coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Kalua pork on Hawaiian rolls topped with coleslaw. Enjoy!
