Now, to make the Kalua Pig....
Get a pork butt or shoulder and stick it in a dutch oven. Rub it
thoroughly with sea salt. Add in a cup of water and the equivalent of a
can of chicken broth - homemade stock is fine. For the smokey flavor
(cover your eyes, you BBQ efficianados), toss in about 1/3 of a cup of
liquid smoke. Yes, liquid smoke. I said it. :~)
Put the lid on the pot and put into the oven at about 275 degrees. It's
a low and slow process, but it smells so good while it's cooking! The
pork is done when it easily pulls. The next step is to chop up the
green cabbage.
You can leave the cabbage raw if you place the hot pulled pork directly
over the cabbage; the heat from the pork will wilt it.
Meanwhile, when you take the pork out of the pot, you're going to think
that there will be way too much greasy liquid in the mix, but don't
throw out the juice! When you're done pulling the pork, you want to
pour some of that juice back into the pork so the pork and cabbage soaks
in it. Every time you get an order of kalua pork in Hawaii, it's
sopping in the juice. Plus, you serve the pork and cabbage over white
sticky rice and the rice absorbs a bunch of the liquid. You never want
dried kalua pig.
Here's a link to some I made a while ago..
