Yesterday I made Luau Pork in the crockpot. Oh.....YUM.

About a 3-4 lb pork butt
4-5 slices of bacon
4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 T. Black Hawaiian Lava Salt
2 T. Liquid Smoke

Cut the raw bacon pieces in half and line the bottom of the crock pot with them.

Chop the garlic and sprinkle over the bacon.

Poke holes in the pork butt and rub it well with the Black Hawaiian salt.

Place the pork butt fat side down (trim as much fat as you like, your preference) on top of the bacon and garlic.

Sprinkle the Liquid Smoke over the pork butt.

Do not add any other liquid to the pot. You want the pork to roast in the crock pot, not braise. It puts out enough of it's own juices.

I cooked mine 10 hours on low because that's how long I was out of the house at work, etc.

You can vary your cooking time and either hi or low depending on how much time you have. Probably start out on hi and go to low after 4 hours. You want it to be fall apart tender.

Pull the pork apart and stir around in the crock pot to mix all the juices and bacon and garlic around in the pork. EAT

Oh My Goodness, this is good.

I'm going to do taco's or enchiladas this weekend with the leftovers.
I've found a really low carb tortilla recipe that I'm going to try.

I haven't had a tortilla in, it seems, like a hundred years, so if these are any good, I'm going to be in Mexican heaven.

Have you tried the Mission brand "Carb-Balance" tortillas. They are
small and come in whole wheat or white flour. Very, very low net carbs
(5) because of a lot of fiber. They taste pretty good, too.

That is an excellent way of re-purposing that pork. I stuff a lot of
protein inside one enchilada, so I only consume the carbs in one tortilla.

Janet made a good suggestion about low carb tortillas and wraps. If you
try the low carb tortilla recipe, please let us know how it turns out.

No I haven't tried those. But the recipe I'm going to try has about 2 net carbs per tortilla. If they are anywhere worth eating, I'll post it here.

LOL Ed. This does have a charcoal, smokey taste and aroma.

Here's another use for that salt. I love it.
