recipe reviews for:

Oven Kalua Pork

“Fire up the tiki torches -- its 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.”

Ya know, I can't rave about this recipe like everyone else has (I wish I could). It was on the dry side, but tender and the taste was nothing exceptional. I did use regular sea salt instead of hawaiian, but it said right at the top that both would work fine. Oh well, guess I have 5 lbs. of shredded pork to add BBQ sauce to.

This was a definite hit at our house! It came out just as tender and juicy as it does when I slow cook one all day and there was not near as much work!!!!

Combined this with Huli Huli chicken at a Luau. This is a no brainer recipe, with guaranteed raves from the guests. I used Pecan Liquid Smoke for a yummy flavor. Fabulous results with very little prep.
