Hawaiian roasted pork is a traditional dish that is both flavorful and easy to prepare. Its origins can be traced back to the days when early Hawaiians cooked their food in an imu, a type of underground oven. Today, this dish is typically made using pork shoulder or pork butt, which is marinated in a savory mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, then slow-roasted in the oven. The result is tender, juicy meat with a crispy crust that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, macaroni salad, or vegetables. This article will provide you with a range of recipes for Hawaiian roasted pork, from classic preparations to modern variations, so that you can find the perfect dish for your next gathering.

Categories     Pork

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 boneless whole pork loin roast (about 3 lbs)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 (8 ounce) can unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, undrained
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Cut pork roast in half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In large skillet, brown roast in oil on all sides; drain. Place in 5 quart slow cooker.
  • In large bowl, combine pineapple juice, pineapple, brown sugar, celery, vinegar, and soy sauce. Pour over the roast.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 160.
  • Remove roast and keep warm. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, strain cooking juices; transfer to large saucepan. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over pork.
  • NOTE: I like to use 2 forks and shred the pork roast instead of slicing it and return it to the cooking juices. I then serve it over rice. I also usually add the cornstarch & water mixture to the cooking juices in the crockpot instead of using a separate pan. I also sometimes add some extra pineapple chunks towards the end because my family really loves pineapple.

HAWAIIAN ROASTED PORK



Hawaiian Roasted Pork image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless pork rump roasts, about 3 pounds each
3 tablespoons Hawaiian or coarse salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/2 cup guava jam, prepared
2 tablespoons Macadamia nut oil
1 teaspoon of water, plus 1/2 cup
10 banana leaves, wet
1 stalk sugar cane, split in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon all-natural liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

  • Season the pork roasts all over with salt and pepper. Prepare an outdoor barbecue by soaking mesquite wood chips in water and adding to the coals for added flavor. Sear the pork on the hot grill to lock in the natural juices. Whisk together guava jam, oil, and 1 teaspoon of water. Season with fresh cracked pepper. Rub the pork with guava paste. Set 2 wide pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Lay 5 banana leaves on each piece of foil in a crisscross pattern, then place the pork roasts on top. Fold the banana leaves up around the roasts to make a bundle. Insert a sugar cane spear through the banana leaves and into the pork to secure. Tent the foil over the roasts and seal 3 of the sides to form a pouch. Mix liquid smoke and remaining water together in a small bowl, pour it into the pouch. Close up the remaining edge of foil to lock in the moisture and flavor. Transfer back to the hot grill. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with the grill cover down. When the pork is cool enough to handle, shred using 2 forks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for Hawaiian roasted pork. It's a fatty, flavorful cut that will become fork-tender when cooked low and slow.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives Hawaiian roasted pork its signature flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory ingredients.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: Hawaiian roasted pork is traditionally cooked in an imu, or underground oven. However, you can also cook it in a slow cooker or oven. The key is to cook the pork at a low temperature for a long period of time, so that it has time to become tender and flavorful.
  • Baste the pork while it cooks: Basting the pork with the marinade or cooking juices will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the pork every 30 minutes or so.
  • Let the pork rest before serving: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian roasted pork is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to enjoy the flavors of Hawaii without having to travel to the islands. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make Hawaiian roasted pork at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
