Slow-Cooker Kalua Pork

I want my children to be well acquainted with their heritage.  I'm so proud of all of the different countries that my ancestors hail from.  A big part of every culture is the food.  So I try to make all different kinds of food so my kids can have something to identify with.  Kalua pork is one of the most well-known staples of Hawaiian cuisine.  And I love that I can make it at home in the crock pot.  It would be a lot cooler if I could cook it like my ancestors did but that's a bit hard in the middle of California.  Yeah, this will have to do for now and perhaps someday we will make it the traditional way.


Slow Cooker Kalua Pork

3 lb Pork butt roast
1 Tbsp sea salt
1 Tbsp liquid smoke

Pierce pork roast with a fork multiple times all over the roast.

Mix sea salt and liquid smoke together in a small bowl.  Rub salt mixture all over the pork roast.  Place in the slow cooker.

Cook on low heat for 10 to 12 hours.  Shred pork with a pair of forks and discard any fatty pieces.
