I recently went to Hawaii for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. It was such a fantastic experience as I enjoyed not only the beautiful island of Maui, but also the delicious culinary journey! It was just my husband and I, which in a crazy busy life with 3 kids, a trip like this seldom happens. Like once every 5 years.

I saw the most stunning black sand beach while there, which is a crazy story about that journey, but maybe I’ll share it another time. For those familiar with the “Road to Hana” you may have an idea ;)

While there, we were able to get into a luau at Old Lahaina Luau and what an incredible experience it was! The food and entrainment were equally fantastic. (sorry about the poor quality phone photo).

They use an “underground oven” to cook the pig, complete with rocks, banana peels, wire, cloth and dirt. It was such an amazing thing to see and even more amazing to eat the tender pork that had been cooking all day long. I knew when I came home I wanted to recreate that pork only in my slow cooker.

I was so pleased with my slow cooker and how tender the meat came out. It just fell away from the bone.

 This pork was adored by my whole family! I loved the low maintenance and that I could just let my slow cooker do all the work. We all devoured this meal and I know you will, too!

Recipe type: Dinner
Ingredients
  • 1 (3 lb.) pork butt roast
  • liquid smoke, enough to rub all over pork
  • Hawaiian sea salt, about 1 Tablespoon, enough to rub on each side of pork. If you can't find Hawaiian salt you can use Himalayan Salt as a substitute.
Instructions
  1. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray or insert a slow cooker liner. I prefer the liner for an easy clean up.
  2. Place pork in side.
  3. Rub salt into each side, using about ¼-1/2 teaspoon per side, less if desired.
  4. Next, pour and rub in liquid smoke onto each side of the pork.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for about 10 hours.
  6. Remove pork and shred.

 Enjoy!
