We love this stuff! It tastes just like the luau pork at the Polynesian Cultural Center! It is so yummy over rice but we also use it for pulled pork sandwiches and pork tacos.
For Pulled Pork Sandwiches:
Layer on a hamburger bun with BBQ sauce and coleslaw.
Kalua Pork / Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Save RecipeIngredients
- 3-4 pound pork roast
- 1-2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1/3 c. liquid smoke
- 1 c. cup water
- 4 washed ti leaves (If ti leaves aren't available or you don't know what they are, no worries-- it is still great without them -they just add a cool local Hawaiian element to the dish.)
Instructions
- Line bottom of crock pot with 2 ti leaves (if you have them). Rub pork generously with salt, pour on liquid smoke then place on ti leaves (or in the crock pot). Add water. Fit remaining ti leaves (again, if you have them) around outer edge of crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until it will easily shred into juices (do not drain).

Here's a tip for those that don't have ti leaves...you can put a banana peel (under or on top of the pork) in the crock pot and it gives it that "island/local flavor". I promise it doesn't taste like banana.
