Ingredients
5
lb.
pork shoulder roast
1 1/2
Tbsp.
coarse ground salt
use Hawaiian Alaea Salt if you have it
3/4
tsp.
Liquid Smoke
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, pierce the roast about 5-7 times. Place in slow cooker (you will want to use a 6 qt. slow cooker for this recipe).
Sprinkle salt on roast and massage it into the meat.
Pour Liquid Smoke on top of roast.
Cook for approximately 10-12 hours on the Low setting. Mine usually takes about 10 hours.
Remove roast from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Add some of the cooking liquid to the shredded meat if needed.
Notes
Cooking time will vary based on your particular slow cooker performance.
Shredded meat can be frozen for 1 month.
Use leftover Kalua Pig for BBQ sandwiches, quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas and salads.
