One of our favorite things at our local Hawaiian Mix Plate! Prep time includes the sitting overnight in the fridge. This definitely isn't a "quick" recipe but it is worth the wait.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 5 lbs pork butt (or shoulder)
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke (or soy sauce)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons hawaiian salt (or sea salt)

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut slits in pork and rub with salt, garlic & liquid smoke or soy sauce. Wrap in plastic and let in rest overnight in the fridge.
  2. 2
    10-12 hours before serving, place in crockpot. Add an inch of water. Turn crockpot on low and leave it to cook for 10-12 hours, flipping pork over halfway through.
  3. 3
    Remove from the crockpot and shred with two forks.
  4. 4
    Eat as is or on a sandwich or even stir fried quickly with some shredded cabbage!

This was delish! And really very easy. Took maybe 3 minutes to get it in the bag last night & less than that to drop it in the crock pot this morning. I used a pork tenderloin (what I had on hand), the sea salt & liquid smoke. The final product was falling apart tender, with a subtle smoked flavor but definitely not overpowering. I'd love to throw a sliced onion in with it next time too. We ate it with cracked wheat sourdough rolls & with a dab of BBQ sauce (mainly for contrast in the photo). Thanks for sharing, QJB!
